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 get the idea. I'd like to see more users on Lemmy too but I don't think ads are the way to go. The best bet is probably more OC content and questions being answered as I've started seeing Lemmy post appear in Google searches.

I would love to see a collection of donations for Lemmy to get more developed which I think would be a much better use than ads.

I think currently the best way to get more users is word of mouth. For now...
