Number doesn’t matter, quality and engagement does. If people make an effort to keep engaging with posts and leaning in, this place will be good no matter the user count. As it is, 100k or so active users seem like enough to keep the flow of posts fresh, but not enough for them to be populated with lots of comments

Both. I think the general federated thread universe is going to be very general. And then you're going to have instances where you talk about your niche content. And those communities can coexist in the same architecture. This growth period is very important for the ecosystem, nailing down discovery, reputation, spam control, we're going to have to go through those growing pains just like Reddit did in the past.
The best part about reddit was a community for everything with users with experience that could answer your question. Whether I needed help configuring a router, help worth a plumbing question, or advice on hiking boots I could find an answer either by searching our posting out I needed something more specific. Number of users helps build that knowledge pool, but so far I prefer the community here much more.
I posted this comment and never would've on reddit lol
