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.

The addiction thing is so true. Bug tech invest a lot into making their user experience as addictive as possible. The mainstream social networks are highly optimized attention catchers create for making people spend as much time as possible in them, and the fediverse can't provide with that addiction, so the more people are addicted to social media, the worse their experience around here will be.
