we need more users
(discuss.tchncs.de)
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'm starting to see this. Over on Mastodon I'm starting to get devisive pro-Reform stuff in my feed. Often it's someone boosting (though not sure why) a video from a pro-Farage account and making a silly comment about it. The local instance I'm in is nice and friendly - and I don't want the arrival of people who just want to stir up things. We do politics there and seems left-leaning but it's courteous. Occasionally a tone deaf elephant will thunder through and then move instances when they realise we don't like the being nasty stuff.
