Right now the user count Lemmys is comparatively tiny when held up against reddit - but the user count isn’t the thing that makes a social media site, it’s the engagement
So even if you’re used to lurking, try to get a little more active! Post memes, vote on posts, talk in the comments, whatever!
If people come here and see activity, content, and discussions, they’re more likely to stay and contribute their own - if they come and see a ghost town, they’ll just go back to reddit
I saw Lemmy has already grown a lot over the weekend and I’m all for it getting bigger! To be honest I also feel a lot more motivated to actually post here instead of lurk.
And the community seems super nice so far!
