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.

Can I ask a different, more difficult question?
Where are people going?
Lemmy Isn’t Quite It? Mastodon is too formal. Blusky is too political.
Lemmy was a clone of Reddit. Not an improvement on it.
And I at least was mostly lurking on reddit, as well, only commenting occasionally.
Reddit I think
most likely going back to reddit, its where all the drama, politics are.
Back to reddit I imagine.
Lemmy/Piefed is defederated. I feel like that in itself is an improvement.
I’m not saying it’s not an improvement but it’s not sufficient, either
What is your ideal reddit experience, so to speak?
if I knew, I wouldn’t ask tbh…
