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

Lemmy is the light for all the reddit lurkers! We will get there!

Oh, that’s interesting, the reply box is all the way down here. I’ll see what I can do here as far as activity goes, I don’t know what fediverse is but it sounds like something worth taking part in.

I used to lurk a lot of subreddits but I guess that will be no longer. RIP Reddit. Long live Lemmy!

Alright... this marks the end of my lurking lifestyle then, I guess ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

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

I wish signing up was easier for non technical users.

I understand the need for approving new sign ups but this can be off putting for new users.

The last few days i've honestly just been lurking trying to figure out the UI and all that, really loving it so far but now that i've somewhat figured it out I plan on being more active
