You happy with this stat, @ulu_mulu@lemmy.world?
Woot woot!
I’ve been commenting here more than I did on Reddit where I lurked accountless on old.reddit, let’s hope the trend continues.
Ps, I just saw how many posts you’ve created and wanted to thank you for all the effort you are putting in here. I spend a ton of time surfing, and appreciate all the work that the technical people are doing to allow us to have a new home.
@SoPunny@lemmy.world, thanks so much! I used to lurk on reddit, but now I’m trying to do a little bit to help this site and lemmy grow. I see you’re contributing as well.
This is a better metric than registered users. I’m enjoying this early stage of lemmy where everyone seems eager to use the platform. It’s giving the same vibes as the old forums I used to participate in the early days of the internet. We just need more content creators and we are set!
The comment sections have been pretty engaging in the communities that are getting established quickly, but I can’t wait for more people to start posting. I have a community for SpacePorn and it’s just me posting things and almost 100 people watching with the very rare occasional comment popping up. It’s a little frustrating feeling like I have to keep entertaining everyone, when I just want others to join in 😅.
I’m in a similar situation in !ultralight@lemmy.world. Getting people engaged is a bit like getting people to dance at a party, many people want to but someone has to break the ice… things I’ve tried is pinning a post asking people to stop by and say hi, also comment on each post so there’s something to latch onto, people won’t click in with 0 comments. You can also try a joke post to break the ice, in the case of SpacePorn you could combine a picture of a galaxy and a swimsuit model and say “Am I doing this right?!?” or something; it’s stupid but hopefully it makes someone laugh.
I’ve got a piece of glass (fused silica, actually) that’s flown on multiple shuttle missions. Does that count?
* To be clear it’s a piece of glass from a 1” thick experiment window that failed it’s flaw growth recertification test (mostly due to human error) after being used several times. It was the biggest piece left after the explosion. 😁
Made the !half_life community yesterday and it does feel like this. The only other post is a post my friend made so I could promote him to moderator. I don’t have much experience so I’m not sure I’m able to fully understand your situation though.
yep! I’m not much of a conversation starter but love diving into comments, let’s hope it keeps growing
I hopped over recently. Very happy to be here.
Much better statistic than total users due to all the spam bots recently created.
There are servers with 6-7 thousands accounts all created almost at the same time and no user activity at all.
Did lurkers decide to select some servers to be “lurking-only” servers? Hardly.
This website recommends a random server for people to join: https://join-lemmy.org/instances. Could that be the reason?
