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.

Most of the fun communities I’ve found are pretty dead so my feed is just full of world and tech news that is usually sad, aggravating, or misleading. No, I don’t need another story of battery technology I’ll never use on my feed.
mander.xyz for science articles and memes. startrek.website and tenforward@lemmy.world for star trek memes. cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works for cybersecurity news, but not a lot of discussion.
The self hosting communities on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world are pretty active and good at answering questions.
