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.

The only way non tech users who comprises of 90% of the world will join Lemmy only if they have one instance which is baked in the app.

People don't understand and don't want to learn what instances are, how it works etc. Non tech users don't give a shit. All they need is an app with username and password which hopefully the remember.

Once you get an app like that and the UI is reddit like , then 100% will move.

If you want to play Minecraft with friends, you need to find a server. Still the most popular game in the world.

The other option is that anybody who recommends Lemmy, actually just recommends an instance. Make an account on examplelemmyserver.org and download the app XYZ should be the go-to recommendation. Not ”there are so many cool options”.

People over-react because it's new to them, but it's not really that complicated. It's not like email never caught on because it's federated.
