I think some people want Lemmy to become as big as Reddit. I don't care if it does, I just want it to be big enough to have a good stream of content.
I want federated social media to kill off corporate social media because the latter is doing substantive damage to our society by giving Spez, Musk and Zuckerberg too much power over political discourse.
In terms of my time, the fediverse already has enough content for me, everything else is just the cherry on top.
I'd like us to grow organically. I don't think we need to go and evangelize over at reddit.
I'd still like some more diversity of content though.
