Added some form of "User Count" to Yarn.social's landing page 👌

@prologic One part of my brain wants Yarn to stay smol, and the other likes to share this cool project/idea/product with as many people as possible. You know, the game of numbers against a sustainable big community. No matter what my brain contradicts with, the counter looks nice!
I think I should ask before (excuse me if I missed that part of the discussion somewhere else), what's the purpose of having a counter of users? Honestly curious from a design perspective
@prologic By the way, most of them are located in English speaking countries. Is anyone here interested in having one for Hispanic content? I'm in MX, BTW
@eaplmx what would "Hispanic content" be? We need to start by defining that. If all you meant was having one in which Spanish speaking people congregates, then you are a suitable candidate to spin one up. 😂 Now, I have my reservations with that. I wouldn't want to peer, nor follow anyone from a Spanish speaking pod (and I know the language!). I am sure others will want it less.
For as much as some may hate it, English is, mostly, the language of the Internet. Maybe in a few years from now will be Mandarin, but I doubt it. The Chinese are learning English in mass.
That's nice! The user counter might make it easier for potential users to make a decision whilst cresting their account, based on how overloaded—or not—a pod could be, or how much chatter—or not—a pod might carry.
@homer well... I don't have a quick answer. I'm part of Texto-Plano and the activity and members are less than 1/10 than in some other places I like. But in smol communities that's a feature not a bug, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I agree that English is the language of the Internet, the new Lingua franca, I've even written in my log about it. And even if Spanish is in the Top 10 most spoken languages, its influence is not that big in certain communities (like Dev)._

@screem I figure it will be a while until a user joins in—unless I go and create a user, like I have done it elsewhere. Yarn is relatively unknown but the word is slowly spreading. I showed it to wife on mobile, and the first thing she said was "that text area is too small." I wonder if changing it from 3 rows to 5 rows default would be better. What do you think, @ullarah and @prologic?
