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.

This. So much of this.

I see the same with any federated platform. People are excited to explain how complicated and clever and different services and integrations and... Shut the fuck up.

App, sign-up, post, like, subscribe. Done.

People will learn the rest if it is important enough to them to master
