I don’t want Lemmy to be as big as reddit. When it does it’s guaranteed to be enshittified.

It’s an open source project. It has no investors driving it toward user hostile profit seeking which is the primary force behind enshittification. A large user base doesn’t cause it, merely triggers it where the cause is already present.

Enshitified is the wrong word imo. Reddit went downhill long before the API changes. Most popular subreddits were filled with karma farming bots spamming the same shit over and over.
By the end I only used reddit for news and niche hobbies.

Instance admins are already compromised sometimes. They can be bribed or get greedy.

Then why aren’t you setting up your own instance? You do have the option.
