    Why does this matter? Do we need to appease the shareholders or something? Do we need endless month over month growth, lest the world completely stops turning?

    Do we need SYNERGIES??!!!?

      If there are no users, there will be no new contents added.

      If there are a lot of users (many more than there are now), there will be enough people around to support all sorts of niche communities, like Reddit had.

      As a Lemmy shareholder, I’m outraged. If Lemmy doesn’t get more users soon, I am going to stop the thrusters that keep the world turning. You have been warned.

      It just signals that this platform is flawed to the point where it’s bleeding to death. Keep in mind, a bigger userbase = more active community = better platform.
