we need more users (discuss.tchncs.de)

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 could not find Jerboa in the App Store. I use Voyager. We need Lemmy.

This is such an underrated point. If we want people to join Lemmy, we need an app called Lemmy, on every platform. And if we want to steal users from Reddit, make the UI a clone of the reddit app but better. And allow people to join via the app, not some separate website.

Or maybe people just need to stop saying "Lemmy" and instead say "Voyager", or "Boost for Lemmy" or whatever app they would suggest to use?

It's like Linux, I don't suggest people to install Linux because that's not a thing, I suggest they install Bazzite or Fedora KDE, or whatever I think will suit them best
