Why are people so interested in mass adoption of things like fediverse? (lemmy.world)

Don't get me wrong I'm a big fan but it seems like the fediverse could theoretically exist with like 5 users whereas a commercial company needs users for revenue. It feels like we are using the masters tools to try to destroy the masters house

yea the reason to want more users is for niche communities, I don't need a billion people just for memes or news, but when you subdivide your users down to niche communities suddenly you'll want more

I wish there were more people on Lemmy talking about Deus Ex, The 7th Guest, DOS games, Randomizers, or specific TV shows that I'm currently watching (Reddit always had a pretty active sub for each and every show)
