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.

    Yeah. Huge improvement and my other account is on piefed.social

    Not having it from the beginning though, it helped create this issue in declining usership, which will kill the entire project if we don’t address it.

    I’ve lived through the birth growth and death of many former spaces which occupy a similar role as Lemmy. When users start to depart, its almost always destined for catastrophic collapse.

      Well, better late than never. Piefed can’t retrospectively solve the limitations that Lemmy had.
