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.

Everyone I try to explain it to thinks it's reddit but worse. I'm still going to keep trying. The other thing is seeding content and not making reposts. I'm not the most creative person, but I still try to make content for this platform because I love what it stands for. Might do that right now.
