@dcc @SuperSnekFriend @verita84 I still get nostalgic for the days before mastodon went viral. I'm not sure that more people is better. I'd be happy with a small community of people that were active, that we could get to know and interact with each other. To have quality conversations. Than just bringing floods of people in, the network does change with it like it has changed with mastodon.

I think the quality conversations and content are what will generate interest and keep people here. Our problem is not just generating that content but making it accessible. Search has been a difficult one to get right on fedi. Bringing groups back would help some of this. Otherwise content just gets lost in the timeline.
