I have yet to have someone stalk me on Lemmy. Happened on Reddit all the time.

Yet. Reddit has been around for over a decade and has millions of users and lemmy has like a half million users. Lemmy isn’t better, there’s just a lot less of it. Duh.

Smaller is often better. See Usenet and the Eternal September.

For a site like reddit/lemmy, more is better. You need enough users that you can find any niche community u want.

I guess I would rather have less bots, trolls and angry assholes than have more niche communities.
