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.

    I went to Discord and Bluesky. Yeah Bluesky can be political + US centric as heck but thankfully other niches still have major presence… unlike Lemmy and the whole threadiverse.

      bluesky has the advantage of being an active leftist contingent, and the disadvantage of being an active leftist contingent

        I can totally tolerate Bluesky being too political. But the US-centric attitude there annoys me very much.

        No, Threadiverse isn’t much better. I have repeated this criticism of being US-centric countless of times to the point I sound like a broken record.

        I’m so done with this whole thing
