Comment on Would you all prefer lemmy as a whole reaches the userbase of reddit, or to remain smaller?

The best part about reddit was a community for everything with users with experience that could answer your question. Whether I needed help configuring a router, help worth a plumbing question, or advice on hiking boots I could find an answer either by searching our posting out I needed something more specific. Number of users helps build that knowledge pool, but so far I prefer the community here much more.
I posted this comment and never would’ve on reddit lol

This is what I was going to say. More users means more knowledge, diversity and depth of content, but also brings more garbage along with it. Meaning more effort for the moderators to filter, and more responsibility on all of us to up/down vote based on real information value rather than just emotional knee jerk.
