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??!!!?

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.

Active user count is probably the single most important metric to whether a platform is successful and stays alive. Even above quality of content, as proven by many other social media platforms that thrive despite being flooded with trash content.
