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 think I've been more active on Lemmy in the past five days than I had been on reddit for the past 2 years.

Decentralization of social media is extremely enticing to me, and I really want this community to flourish, so I've been trying to make this into an active space.

Glad to hear it - decentralization of social media is imperative. Given the absolute disaster that corporate interests have visited upon us, we would have been better served by developing and enhancing Usenet - can you imagine how good it would be if we'd been at this since the '90s? That's what the fediverse reminds me of today and it's only gonna get better.
