Sounds like you didn't actually try the app. It's super fast and smooth. Lots of customization, great UI. I happily pay for that effort.
Sync will surely make the lemmy ecosystem more attractive and bring in a ton more people, which is a great thing for everyone here whether you use the app or not.
Ok, so I have been trying out Sync... and well, yes, the UI is slightly better, but most of the "fancy" stuff is only in the paid version... which is kind of steep for stuff I could wait a year or two without.
Most interesting feature I've seen, is the search function, but it still fails in many places, so that's somewhat bittersweet. Curiously, it's one of the free ones, so... well, I guess I'll leave it installed for a while and see how things go.
More people isn't great. It's how social media begin to sink. It was like this on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc.
Yeah, Google+ was such a hit thanks to its lack of users
There is an optimum. But, the more is the best isn't true for communities and social media.
Maybe, but we are waaaay under that "optimum" right now, so for now the more is the best
Optimum doesn't mean a lot or infinity. It varies from community to community and social platform to social platform.
Reddit peaked sometimes ago. But Lemmy is not reddit and it's not focused on the grow.
The problem with those sites was not the amount of users.
