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.

Here's my approach: over the holidays I suggested lemmy to 3 people I know. I did so by emailing or texting them links to the following piefed feeds of lemmy communities:

The first is non-political, non-tech, low-meme communities (tho sometimes those topics sneak in.) The second is non-political, non-tech meme/humor communities. One peson said they thought it was neat, the other said they bookmarked it, the third didn't say anything. Dunno if they joined.

oh wow! feeds are impressive! kinda like the feature i requested here

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, feeds are neat bc they're user-curated, they're easy to copy, and you can easily tell which communities are active.

Your proximetry metrics is a good idea too, I bet it would work best in a tool like the Lemmy Explorer: https://lemmyverse.net/communities

yeah i get what you mean, but it would be neat if it was automated so it's personal to you, and just shows you new communities you might be interested in.

that site is odd... looks like we have to go to https://lemmyverse.net/ and THEN click "communities"...
