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

Lol. I used to be like that. I've learned to just approach the first person I see and strike a conversation. If I don't like them I go to the next one and then the next one. We got one life, everyone is as foreign, and so many people are glad to be talked to. We don't think it be like it is but it do.
