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 was mostly using alts to federate communities before Lemmy-federate got created.

Nowadays thanks to Piefed personal feeds I mostly only use this one'

But then how do you mod communities, specifically Lemmy ones, when those reports do not federate (though PieFed ones reportedly do)?

Those are not "Blaze" alts, I have specific alts for that, but they aren't recognizable
