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”

    I’m hesitant about that. It’s still run by volunteers, and that’ll end when the volunteer gets tired of paying the bills for whatever instance.

    I think Lemmy needs to find a way to disassociate instance hosting from some individual kindly paying the bill. It doesn’t need to be profit driven, just a way to get people to donate enough to keep the servers going.
