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.

    For me I deleted my account a month ago after 2 years of lemmy. I forgot about this account and jerboa install, the only community sub is this one haha.

    I figure I’ll just say why I left, this place became a depressing shit hole.

    The communities aren’t niche enough because it’s not big enough, so it’s just a shit experience. I’m just going to look to old school forums again. Phpbb you must still be out there…

    I figure I’ll still keep this account in case I need to use it for something useful. One never knows when they’ll get lost on the seas and need some directions.
