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

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

Lemmy sprawls thanks to his dislike of Reddit's new rules. This is both a virtue and a problem at the same time. Reading 1,000 "Reddit is about to fall apart" posts or copies of old Reddit posts is quite tedious. Oh yeah, there's also the defederation announcements, it's even more tedious to read that nonsense. Guys, you have not had time to consolidate, and already arranging a rant.

Using the jeroboa app rn and it's fairly intuitive.

Hey people of the internet. So if I’m going to not lurk, and if I have a really weird sense of humour and am downright unfunny to most of my friends, where is my community here?

It can be tough sometimes, but find those communities you already love and say something - even a little thing is engagement!

I've created 3 communities in 24 hours, I think that's enough for now. ;)

Really excited to see what all this turns into!
