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.

      That just might be where they set up for support questions.

      That would mean that lemmy.ml chose to remove lemmy.world from there, which I would think would upset lemmy.world mods.

        I believe they publicly stated they removed .world from it to prevent centralization because everyone was going to a single instance, thus defeating the fediverse purpose. But this is all from memory and I might be wrong

          Yes, that’s correct. But I’m not aware of lemmy.ml mods running it is all I mean. That it randomises the instances for newbies on first view isn’t great either.
