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.

    I think one huge missed opportunity is within sharing stuff from lemme… Other sites will allow you to share media, often with a banner or link back to the original content or source. For lemme I download the media and there’s no branding or linkage that brings you back to the platform (at least not through the Boost app)

      Thank god there’s no branding. But I also have found it difficult to share posts to Mastodon for example. They just don’t look good (shared from Voyager)
