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.

    They know there are other options, but they won’t join us on the fediverse. That’s because no celebrities or influencers have moved to the fediverse.

    And as for reddit users, most of them just like “huh? I like staying here” or “the lemmy devs are tankies and lemmy is a toxic tankies dumpster”

    But that’s okay with me, at least we have fewer toxic people.

        Many people improperly exchange “Threadiverse” or even just “Lemmy” with “Fediverse”. George Takei is on Mastodon / the Fediverse, but not on the Threadiverse / Lemmy / PieFed / Mbin.
