Do we need bigger communities so we’re more noticeable to the news outlets like when !technology@lemmy.world eventually hits 100k? Or when interesting stories originate from here?

The second. News would need to originate here. Places would need to start seeing the fediverse as a source.
Doesn’t matter how big a community is if they don’t do anything worth reporting on. Citing comments as “man on the street” style opinions generally doesn’t happen until after we have eyes on us.
At least that was how things worked with 4chan and reddit begining to be mentioned in news.
Yeah right now the only real source we are is on Linux distribution choices, which ain’t exactly newsworthy
Yeah, Lemmy needs more OC.
