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”

ads cost money to increase users to eventually profit from them later.

how would a decentralized lemmy profit from the increased users.

Any money spent on ads would be better off hiring more engineering resources and improving lemmy for the next time Reddit does something dumb prompting an exodus.

The idea is for some users to pool some money together to buy ads, not for the platform to do it. I guess the idea is that as users, we benefit from the additional content that comes along with more users.
