My usage dropped for a while, but it’s the only ‘social media’ that doesn’t actively leave me feeling worse about the platform and the world after using it.

Does Lemmy need to grow for some reason? Sometimes I swear I can feel the Reddit community toxicity seeping in and its really disappointing. Honestly, for me personally if Lemmy continued on exactly as it is today, I'd be perfectly content.
That said, if there are benefits to growth beyond the wide scope of mass adoption fucking over the proprietary social medias I'm all ears.
I'd like some niche communities to be more active, and realistically speaking that's only going to happen with a bigger userbase.
We can always crawl further in to hide from scary normal people, but the normal people need this type of platform too. We can just subscribe to our nerdy communities and stop browsing all or everything once there is too much stuff to browse that way anyway.
