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.

It’s just less busy. So conversations on one topic go on for longer, is that such a bad thing?
I think he is filtering by active which keeps posts still receiving lots of comments very high.
Seems like it. That’s what I do and it is the same for me. But I like it that way.
