Why are people so interested in mass adoption of things like fediverse?

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

I think if this is what Lemmy is intended for it’s sad and will always a niche thing. I refuse to believe that this is what Lemmy is aiming for.

Yeah, the front page is working just fine, what's not as good is going to a specific community for a subject you're interested in which currently has 1-3 posts and zero replies.

What's wrong with it being a niche thing. It's been around for long enough being just that.

I'm not saying Lemmy can't be more, just there's nothing "wrong" with it as is. I jdon't like people offering up the opinions I mentioned above.

I mean I guess it’s fine. It just doesn’t provide much value to me personally.
