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 guess it is? But so is every other online forum. The fediverse as a whole just seems to attract a certain group of people, and I think that is fine. If I signed up to a diy forum I would also expect to mostly interact with people interested in diy. (First comment btw, op finally convinced me)
