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

Already been posting and commenting more than I ever did in countless years on Reddit!

I think on Reddit there was so many voices I hardly felt it was worth posting or commenting. Someone else would have already posted my thoughts and done it much more eloquently than I would have.

Here every little act of engagement helps, so I’m just jumping right in to posting & commenting without second guessing myself.
