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.

    You do understand that I am describing a whole different client, right?

    There is no “Lemmy Feed”, just “posts sent from individuals to a group” vs “posts sent from individuals that are broadcasting without any specific audience”

    How this presentation layer would work would be entirely up to the developer/user. I can envision people that might prefer to have a separate threaded-view for group posts like we have in most forum sites, but I can also envision people that will prefer each post appearing in a “feed”, like what Facebook does for groups. I can also envison such an application providing a “image gallery” for people tthat want to see only pictures, like Vernissage does.

    My point is, it would be completely up to the user how to see the data.
