Should I focus on GitHub stars or forks for my open source project?

Hi HN,<p>We have been in a pretty interesting case where the forks&#x2F;stars ratio has been &gt; 30% and growing steadliy in this ratio.<p>We understand that stars might be a vanity metric and hence we are focusing more on the number of forks and talking to developers using us.<p>Wanted to know about the experience on stars v&#x2F;s forks towards growing the community and the overall project as to what worked best and what things we can avoid. I do undertand that every use-case might be different.<p>Thank you.
