User count has plateaued at about 420K
Active user count rose significantly between 2/24 37K to 3/24 51K
Hopefully users who signed up last year are coming back to use their accounts.
Maybe because they’re tired of ads on reddit?
Should we put together a collection and and buy an ad campaign on Reddit?
I can see it now:
“Ads suck. We’re ad-free forever. Join Lemmy.”
and
“He’ll never get us. Join Lemmy.” or “Don’t let him get you. Join Lemmy”
It’s fear of calcification. Lemmy is tiny, in terms of our user base.
If we don’t get fresh blood, and most importantly the rare active contributors, we’ll just get used to talking to each other, we’ll get bored or burned out and leave.
I understand. I suppose it is a risk, but I prefer the arguments against inorganic growth, put by others here.
A compromise could be, seeking to grow individual subs - so people come because of their interest superbowls for example - rather than an effort to attract every yahoo with nothing better to do on the internet.
