Yeah Lemmy is a smaller more intimate community. In fact I'm sure we've interacted before. Thats just the nature of the platform (and a positive).
Also why I don't really agree with people who think the number 1 goal of Lemmy is to grow.
Even if Lemmy outgrew reddit, that small-scale vibe could still be maintained very easily by any specific community with the federation tools.
The only reason I want Lemmy to grow is because I miss having niche video game communities with more than a dozen members :c
Discord is increasingly filling that role now, but there are a large number of reasons why I'm not really a fan of that as a replacement.
Mostly I just want to talk about the new Factorio expansion with everyone...
