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"

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?
The idea is for some users to pool some money together to buy ads, not for the platform to do it. I guess the idea is that as users, we benefit from the additional content that comes along with more users.
Because of the flat and nonprofit nature of Lemmy "users pooling money together" is the platform allocating budget.
