I like a large userbase myself, would prefer it to be larger than it is, but if everyone showed up tomorrow, it’d collapse. We’d see scaling problems that hadn’t been anticipated, anti-spam/anti-abuse systems wouldn’t have had time to adapt, etc.
Takes time with problems gradually appearing and becoming more serious and solutions showing up to deal with them.

Yeah we’ve have 1 Influx and the result was we retained a pretty decent userbase. I think the next influx will be even better for lemmy.
