I’ve been one of the people saying “we don’t need more users. we need quality over quantity” and i was wrong.

the way it’s going, lemmy needs active users who post content sothat the network stays relevant. networks like the fediverse benefit from network effects and that means that if we have more users, that improves the value and quality of the fediverse overall.

So please, everyone, when you can, make advertisement for the fediverse in your personal area. Go talk to friends, make attractive stickers and put them everywhere, stuff like that. We would all benefit from it.

    The hurdle of registration and getting into the Fediverse is, in my view, too high for many people.
    I had to guide my brother step by step to get him into the Fediverse.
    I think that’s where it often fails.
    It needs to be much easier to join — then more people would probably come in.
