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.

    It seems strange that these two curves so closely match eachother in shape.

    When 6month active users drop that means 6 months ago a user stopped using the platform.
    When monthly active users drop that means a month ago a user stopped using the platform.
    So this would suggest that there is a correlation between user attrition 6 months ago and last month.
