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

Who'd win in a wrestling match, Lemmy or God?

Said the stranger entering the musky pub, while three of the older patrons turned their heads to see what the fuzz was about. The old men gruffed out loud and turned back to the playing cards on the table.

Good idea. The more activity we have, the more we will get... It's a positive feedback loop

To be fair, I'm not sure if it helps to generate "fake" activity. IMHO the migration to lemmy will only work if the content will at least have a minimum amount of quality. Just posting random memes is probably not a good way to start.

Unless of course if the content you want to share is random memes and want others to do the same in your community. Please be nice to your instance owner's costs and link not upload the images.

The last few days i've honestly just been lurking trying to figure out the UI and all that, really loving it so far but now that i've somewhat figured it out I plan on being more active

[–] EGirlEnthusiast@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Very true! I will try and be active here, for the sake of this project.

[–] harbo@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I haven’t been lurking but feel like I should comment here specifically lol

I feel personally attacked! I will not tolerate this, and I will do the one thing no lurker would ever think of under normal circumstances!

Here leaving my comment in support to this. I wasn't really active on reddit.

[–] clen15@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The body is willing

[–] ethcat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

We also need more mobile clients like this one

I was a Redditor for years and rarely posted anything and only sometimes commented. Predominantly a lurker but I have been doing my best to comment here the last few days, more than I have in the last 6 months on Reddit and feel less judged for comments. Reminds me of the early days of Reddit when things were simpler. Ah… very much a Pepperidge Farm remembers moment.

But I have nothing interesting to say...
