No commentary here. I just think we should find more comrades and bring them into our fold. How do we do it? Post your ideas, no matter how wild. Maybe someone will see it and get inspired and make something happen.

Yeah, don't really envy them, but to say that they never tried to grow the site is pretty obviously false. There was a lot of trying to grow the community back in the day (was one of the biggest arguments for federation with the rest of the lemmyverse as well) and more recently in trying to grow the community in certain directions.

The biggest drama was when we were hosted as a lifeboat for vegancirclejerk. Looking back at those dramawaves makes the most recent ones seem pedestrian.
