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.

    Okay but conversely: Lemmy was always going to die off. I’ve been shouting this for years and recently stopped because it was just too annoying to people. Note, it’s not truly going to “die off” in the same way that Reddit was never going to “die off” either - just get more enshittified and less popular and less worth visiting.

    So this was never going to not happen. At least with the creation of PieFed, the Threadiverse has a chance to succeed?

    That’s just my two cents anyway:-P.
