No. More posts create more conversations, no matter how stupid they may be. Just skip the ones that don’t interest you.

“more posts create more conversations” has a logical end point, where the sheer volume means more time is spent skipping over uninteresting questions than time spent on answering the interesting ones. At that point, people with answers would rather spend their time elsewhere.
Curation is moderation by another name, and it is hard at scale. The solutions that work for communities with a hundred followers will not work for communities like this one with 49,000 (!) subscribers.

And I suggest we come back to this when Lemmy is at risk of having too much content.

Yeah because when a place not only lacks content, but on top of that most of it is shitty spam, it makes people want to engage a lot more, right?

About as much as a sarcastic condescending tone.
Shitty spam is already against the rules. If you see it, report it.
