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.

    too complicated

    Nani? It’s 2026, getting an account on some lemmy and start posting is nearly two orders of magnitude easier than trying to sign up to an email account!

    That people are brainrotten due to excessive Fortnite and Instagram is, unfortunately, not our problem. At some point, the answer is “just get better users”.

      Singing up for a Google account is such a pain, they’ve gotten worse over time

      The difference is people think they NEED a Google account, but not a Lemmy account
