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.

I kind of don't like the idea of deleting posts.

Maybe we should put a pinned post at the top of each dead community that just says "go here instead"

Like if there's a dead community for a game, there could be a pinned post that directs you to a more general community like for the genre

Like we could do !TheWalkingDeadGame@retrolemmy.com directing to !adventuregames@retrolemmy.com
