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 am doing my part

Question: If the equivalent Reddit subreddit doesn't exist that we use, should we create it? Or wait for the moderators from Reddit to create it?

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.

After years of lurking it’s still hard to break the habit. But I’m really liking this fediverse and will push myself to become more engaged.

I joined Lemmy today. I've been getting into Mastodon recently as well and I have to say the comfy feeling I'm getting from the governance resiliency of FOSS and federated spaces(FFOSS?) is wonderful. This has the same feeling as when I first tried GNU/Linux so many years ago. :D

Less memes please

[–] Rentlar@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago

More memes, but in !memes@lemmy.ml please.

Being new here I think I'll mostly lurk at first. But here goes my first comment anyways. Looking forward to a growing community.

[–] Dougie@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Good suggestion. I was always guilty of lurking on Reddit in the past, I'll make more of an effort here. 😊

If you just quit reddit because they dropped support for same mobile application there is a lot you should learn. Learn what free software is https://www.fsf.org/about/what-is-free-software learn about Aaron Swartz.
