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

In all seriousness: I am trying. Hard to break the habit of lurking. But on the other hand I'll often upvote something, so thats engagement right there :-)

edit: also since someone said "less memes" - I'd recommend you this watch on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

If you want me to comment, there will be SOME memes. Heck, look at OP's handle, how did you expect me NOT to do it? :O

Same here... This is my first comment, so I guess it's a start.
