Should Lemmy buy ads on Reddit? in c/lemmy@lemmy.ml

You'd be surprised.

I have a RL friend who's on Reddit all the time, and he didn't even hear about the shutdown, much less /r/place, or anything like lemmy. I've been trying to sell it to him...

Re: The "We're elite" becomes "We're bored talking among the same old people" or "We're burned out", leading to users leaving and formerly thriving communities dying.

I've been around long enough to see this happen on multiple forums.

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"

What is your favorite open source software? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

LibreOffice is equal to any office software out there, and has been much more stable than OpenOffice, and works without an internet connection unlike Google Docs.
