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.

Actually, you know what? I'll give a free guitar lesson to the first 10 people to make a post in that group.

aw damn i'm a commenter more than a poster. I could use a good resource on theory beyond the circle of fifths though i'm a total novice.

Aww man i would really like that guitar lessons! But i don't have enough knowledge/context to post in that community (yet) :P

Don't worry about it. Honestly. Just post a song and tell us what you like about it. That's good enough. Maybe later you can keep us updated on your guitar progress!

(Hmmm... I always suspected the "In-depth" in the group's name was maybe a little intimidating haha)

it was more a joke about the "free guitar lessons" - well, now i only need a guitar to begin :P
