The thing is yes we need people, but we need people to understand the concept and build new instances, whether this is for personal use or to accept new users.
Also I don't get why this guy is trying to sell lemmy to users reddit. Lemmy is supposed to be a different, better than reddit in other ways, why change it? Don't forget that the creators of lemmy, need $$$$ per month, and features are not 100% doable.

People also say we don't have user base! We have, but they are here only for politics.

Also, joining to lemmy, it can be done ether by joining an instance or making an instance. And don't forget the main point, for lemmy to survive and work correct, lots instances need to exist.
