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”
Do not give Reddit money.
No. We should not give them our money.
If anything then we should post more links to relevant original Lemmy content on other platforms.
I’m probably the weird one, but I specifically make it a point not to buy anything I’ve seen in any ad.
I do this, too. I’ve noticed local companies who advertise heavily on local TV/radio often charge 2x as much as the competition who don’t. And the aggressive advertisers are often arrogant and difficult to work with.
And it pisses me off when I see giant insurance companies spending millions on celebrity spokespeople and Superbowl ads. That represents a lot of denied claims.
Beyond all that: fuck reddit. Don’t give money to spez.
I think just trying to gather any redditor is a bad idea, there are really bad twisted redditors.
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.
June is incoming. Some shit is bound to happen.
I’m probably ootl: why June specifically?
First quarter since IPO?
No
