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

Are there (already) apps for Lemmy?

[–] Debs@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah. On Android there is Jerboa. Pretty bare bones but seems to get the job done. Hopefully it will be updated and flushed out.

Jeroba is alright if you don't ming the white flash when you click on things. Reminds me of sync.

Same problem Mastodon had, the content consumers joined, but the content creators didn't, so there was nothing on the platform to engage with.

And let's be real, Lemmy is going to face the same fate when inevitably the Reddit protest ends in a couple days and everyone goes back to Reddit. Reddit is going to survive.

But lurking is my natural habitat.

Set up my instance to come here to report that I am not lurking o7

[–] DarkErmac@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Oh, that’s interesting, the reply box is all the way down here. I’ll see what I can do here as far as activity goes, I don’t know what fediverse is but it sounds like something worth taking part in.

I agree. It already helps if you comment under stuff that you liked. Pushes the good content up to the top and it will be more visible for others.

[–] cullvox@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I like Lemmy! I'll add something to the conversation, just this once...

[–] tobi@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago
