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

Well, I already voted and commented more here then I ever did on Reddit, so that should work out :)

Is there any Android app that looks exactly like the website? I absolutely love the UI of the website but I prefer apps.

Trying my best! I'm trying to decide if I want to open my instance up to more users or not as well.

I'll try not to lurk, even though I'm use to lurking.

Alright sir, I shall upvote and comment whenever I feel I have something useful to add!

I find it really hard not to lurk. So much so that the one time I got banned from a subreddit, I immediately unsubscribed from it because I knew someday I'd see something I wanted to respond to there and not being able to would be super annoying.

I haven’t been lurking but feel like I should comment here specifically lol

[–] gangstamouse@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago

I'm trying to not lurk, but it's a hard habit to break

[–] thousandecibels@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Well I am somewhat of a lurker myself and came to know about lemmy recently. Commenting here for engagement and gonna try to be more active from now on.

I really like kbin.social, but it's hard for me to figure out how to start a new Threaded post. I can add a new "article" or "link", but what about just a text post?

Also I am not sure how my home feed is populated - I can subscribe to federated stuff and local stuff, but most of what I'm seeing is not from anything I've subscribed to. Is it more like r/popular?

I took a long break from Lemmy and I returned after the Reddit fiasco. I was active on mk.absturztau.be.
