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.

      when i go to piefed.social, i just see another twitter/mastodon feed. it’s all images and memes and etc.

      lemmy is more like old.reddit. its text focused. images don’t appear unless you expand them. they get equal space/weight. on piefed images take up all the screen space.

        ? If you are immediately looking at Popular/All, it’s going to be basically identical to looking at Lemmy from lemmy.world in terms of the content displayed. Maybe it’s not presented in compact view by default?

        Ah yes, you can change that on piefed.

        The point here is that Piefed is community-based just like Lemmy.
