I don't want it to be more popular with idiots.

MODERATORS
As many others have said, it's only natural for the trends to plateau. After a sudden surge of users, due to the Reddit controversy, some of the less "devoted" (can't think of the best word) are bound to leave in search of a more user-friendly experience or a community with more active users. I too, also wish that some of the more niche communities had more active users, however I also understand that these things take time and A LOT more users. For that reason and for the sake of a freer internet, I reckon I'm in for the long haul. I'm also trying to contribute as much as I can with the limited time I have. I think people need to understand that because we aren't the product/customer anymore, we need to help to contribute content and help the build new communities.
How does Lemmy user count actually go down ? People delete their account?
Anyone got any spare money to buy ads on reddit? I know it's giving them money but maybe it'll help bring more over

Biggest issue right now seems to be moderation being difficult due to federation.
I think, once that issue is tackled, we'll see Lemmy grow more naturally.
