Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!
General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

It's like the entire site is the size of a small subreddit.
36k is referring to daily active users, not total accounts, so the whole network is more comperable to a single medium-large subreddit.
I'm happy with that, honestly.
I have quality conversations with quality users because it hasn't been diluted.
I miss the larger conversations on smaller communities that Reddit had, just due to its size as a site. For example, r/BeachHouse or r/HighQualityGifs or any miscellaneous game subreddit.
But I'd bet Lemmy can get there over time. It'll just be fairly slow-going at first.
Which is weirdly ideal, if what you want is a sense of actual community.
Once you get to metropolitan numbers, you get the same paradoxical disconnectedness that you find in a densely-populated city.
