I moved to Lemmy over from reddit not because of content or better UI but because people behind reddit seems like jerks to me and i came to realization I'd rather use open source.
What i lack here is information e.g. programming communities in Lemmy are, well, dead. If left on Lemmy things that are "recommended" to me it's sensational "news" that are aimed to spark woke vs others battle in discussion.
So what to make better ?
On the first point: If we have more people, we will have more content and more visits, and search engines will rank us higher. Hard problem to solve. A bit chicken and egg. Glad you raise it.
On the second point: This really frustrated me. I had issues knowing which manga community to join. In addition, multiple instances means multiple communities and means more fragmentation. If we could bring us all together...
Simply high visit rate is not enough. Every site that wants increase organic traffic has to do SEO at some point.
As for second point yeah, exactly fragmentation is frustrating .
