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.

Lemmy is more stable than what that graph makes it out. I'm not sure how easy it is to track fediverse since instances can pop up at any moment then grow or even the domain can change for an instance

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

All PieFed instances have ~2k active users. Mbin ones have <1k. Some very few instances (like lemmynsfw.com) do not show up in the OP graph. It changes the numbers a bit to add all of that back in, but not the trends overall: Lemmy's active userbase is decreasing (and by far more than is moving over to PieFed).
