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.

Hot take: the biggest issue is actually ever entering a community and seeing zero comments. Most reddit addiction stems from wanting to read comments, so I think people should add a comment to something if they're upvoting and they see that the thread has zero comments.

Nothing eliminates enthusiasm like seeing 0 comments on every post in a community, especially if that community is driven by bots.

Doing my part by trying to comment more on posts with 0 comments.

oh hey, i'm a comment dude. I rarely think up something worth posting, but i'll chat your fingers off. everyone has a place here.

Yep. Engagement drives more engagement.

[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

I think this is it. Posting is reinforced by getting feedback on posts, both up votes and comments

Communities driven by bots should die
