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.

      not my point. i think thoses are totally fine. It just reflect that the audience is super niche. You go on massive social network the most liked post are random joke and life experience not really targeted on a minority type of post.

        You know you can find huge pro-LGBT topics anywhere on Reddit in any subreddit if something notable happens, right?
