Perhaps it's just me having different priorities, but I have no interest in making small talk with lots of people. There's plenty of spaces for that already whilst the spaces for enthusiasts have been sacrificed to the general public.

I'm not arguing this specifically about Lemmy, or trying to suggest policy, I'm just chipping in that there's at least something to be said for not trying to make all social spaces for all people.

The idea is not to have to talk with everyone in the circle, but to have enough people to create a long tail of niche interests.

Small talk is important. It leads to big talk.
