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.

    Just to give you an example, I help mod a community called [email protected] where we wanted to open up a space to discuss topics of interest to people in the USA, yet remain a safe space away from politics.

    What then is there for us to talk about, these days, that does not involve politics?!?!? (this btw was the topic of my 2nd-to-last post, six months ago now)

    I do not need a nagging reminder to help me realize what is happening here… :-(
