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'd say if you want a community, create it. Better yet, start your own instance and do it there. I doubt there's ever going to be any orderly migration. If you want it, make it happen. That's how the reddit mods did it to begin with

So today's my first day on Lemmy. I still haven't figured out how to create a group. Can you do it from the Jerboa app, from the instance website, or do you have to be a moderator on the website to have permission?

I've never used Jerboa, but yeah you probably need permission from the site owner to create a community. There's a "Create Community" link in the header of my instance, looks like this:
