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.

Just wait for Reddit to finally ban porn and we’ll have more users than we know what to do with

Oh they won't ban it they'll hide 18+ subs behind a pay wall and call it "premium access"

I feel like that's effectively the same thing.

Not to get too political but Redgifs is banned in my state without Id verification. I would guess it’s coming if the fundamentalists continue to get their symbolic wins from the unrepentant rapist pedophiles thieves and drunks running th joint.

But do we want whatever users are still on Reddit? If they all come here, we will have to find a different place
