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

Honestly, I feel more comfortable participating on Lemmy than I ever did on Reddit or Twitter.

Just made an account, doing my part! It is a bit annoying how I have to scroll all the way down to comment though.

I'm trying to not lurk, but it's a hard habit to break

I'm confused by Lemmy but also excited to try and help it grow.

Me too. It feels like early reddit stages trying to figure out what subreddits and whatnot are as a newcomer. I'm slowly getting the hang of it. The jerboa app has been cool too!

So, should we recreate our favorite subreddits to get them going?
