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 one of the challenges is explaining the concept of how instances work. How to visit other instances, etc. It's an issue mastadon has too. It's not very intuitive to the non-tech savvy.

Is there a lemmy 101 or lemmy for newbs anywhere?

People mostly figured out crypto en mass, give it time someone will create a great infographic to help I am hoping (I would but I’m not great at design)
