we need more users (infosec.pub)

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.

When this post is two days old and still on the very top of my feed you know that it's either a ghost town or the sorting algo doesn't work.

i am still surprised that 800 people commented. i never saw 800 people under a single post so it must be pretty dang important to people

Some of us are still fighting in the replies.

Are you filtering by "active"?

[–] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Except it's not 2 days old

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

So relative dating doesn't work. It says 2 days, and many things on my front page say 2 days old, which has been true for a while.

It's just less busy. So conversations on one topic go on for longer, is that such a bad thing?

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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.

It can be both.
