What I like about lemmy is how often I come across account names and think oh I've interacted with you before. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Familiar faces resurfacing is nice and only possible on a smaller sized platform. Or clicking someones profile only to see a post I previously saw or commemted on.

But that also means we don’t have enough users or content yet.

This may very well be the case currently, but it isn't necessarily the indicator for such. A critical mass of people using the fediverse can still result in smaller communities due to the local-first nature of the space. If we had 10 million users interested in a given subject, but they're spread among 2000 communities called 'interest' spanning 2000 servers, that's not actually a problem. That's a situation where the global ecosystem is rich and lively, but people are still seeing the same names over and over again in their little interest pocket.
