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

After 10+ years of lurking on reddit I have commented five(?) times in one Lemmy week

Yeah after I commented on this post I made one and have been more active within my first 24 hours on Lemmy than I have in my 11 years on Reddit.

Exactly. There’s something about the fediverse (here and mastodon) that makes me want to contribute.
