Do your part, try not to lurk! (lemmy.ml)

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 don't lurk, I just don't come on Lemmy often. By the way, what instance (be il Lemmy or Kbin) would you recommend to the little Frenchy I am? Want to help Lemmy.ml NOT implode.

Hi, I'm here! Signed up on an instance a few days ago with all this BS going on at Reddit, and I just read the "AMA" with spez. Absolutely ridiculous. I would love to see Lemmy take off. Just trying to get the hang of it at the moment, and I hope an iPhone app comes.

I am glad u/iamthatis saved the recordings because u/spez is a liar. I live in a one-party consent state myself, so I know what u/iamthatis did was legal.

I agree. It already helps if you comment under stuff that you liked. Pushes the good content up to the top and it will be more visible for others.

I've pretty much been a lurker on reddit. Already have commented a bit on here. Probably about as much as I commented on reddit in a half years time.
