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 wish signing up was easier for non technical users.

I understand the need for approving new sign ups but this can be off putting for new users.

agreed - this is a problem with the fediverse as a whole IMO, though Mastadon is generally a lot better.

Thankfully, you only need to sign up once, so it's a relatively minor hurdle to overcome!
