mission and vision of Lemmy must be defined

Do you think each niche Lemmy instances should have their own mission and vision, and market themselves accordingly? I'd imagine lemmy.world can represent Lemmy as whole, but something like ani.social speaks more to weebs IMO.

~~What is the best way for Lemmy to get more users in its current state? What needs to change?~~

What is the main reason that Lemmy is not gaining users?

Why not? Would it enshittify the platform or something?

I know a couple; they are very smart.

When we write reviews or share things.

My understanding is that marketeers would have thought through their company's acquisition / retention / etc problems, then decide on the best approach to deal with said problems.

In some cases, marketeers recognised that having reviews bring the most value to their organisations, and would then create means for end users to "write reviews or share things".

This problem-solving is the real marketing work, not us end users spreading the word.

Off-topic, but is there any advice you would give to Lemmy and / or Fediverse?

That makes sense, but I guess most of them are doing grunt work?

Social media is only one marketing channel, no? How does that tie in to marketeers volunteering their time?
