I literally do not care about getting more members. It is not on my radar at all as a goal or desirable thing or objective.

No.
People are the worst.
Absolutely. There's just fuck all to do here. I used reddit for fan communities a lot, and most of them stayed behind. (Unless you're a trekkie I guess. Then you're set.)
I mean, you are on a site built and maintained by Communists along Communist principles, there are going to be Communists.
Reddit already exists for liberals.

No, not that one.
The "threadiverse" (i.e. lemmy-compatible communities), yeah. There are still many topics that I would find interesting to discuss, but that nobody talks about here; to the extent that there are communities for them, they get very little activity.
The microblogging fediverse (mastodon-compatible), I think, is popular enough by now, I have no real desire to see even more activity there, can hardly keep up with what I'm currently following there and currently tend to unfollow more accounts than I start following.
i looked through mastodon and it seemed like everyone was just talking at each other instead if discussions. its worse than linkedin.
Yes.
I wish there were more people in the fediverse, but not necessarily heaps more on Lemmy. I don't want Reddit numbers on Lemmy. But I wish there were more platforms and more people engaging with them, and no, if the answer is shit like Threads then I don't want any of it.
Yes. Same old faces every time gets old
Find a good instance, it's nice that way. Hexbear is really nice to browse locally, I'm sure there are other instances with active communities like that with good local feeds. The issue isn't with magnitude of people, but the activity levels of people, otherwise you get instances dominated by a few people similar to Reddit.
ok
