Some people might find the answer to be obvious (yes) but I’ve rarely found it so. In fact, this is a question I often find in the linux community (regarding linux going mainstream, not lemmy) and people are pretty split upon it.
On one hand, you may get benefits like more activity, more content, more people to interact with, a greater chance you’ll find someone to talk to on some specific subject.
On the other, you could run into an eternal September like reddit, where Lemmy would lose its culture, and have far more spam and moderation issues.
I don’t know, what do you think?
For peertube, there is also the lack of any easy way for creators to make money, due to the lack of built in ads, or equivalent of youtube premium. Money is incentive.
Also true. The best it has is a little customizable sponsor/donate button, which is neat but far from a good solution.
