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

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?

I feel personally attacked! I will not tolerate this, and I will do the one thing no lurker would ever think of under normal circumstances!

Already been posting and commenting more than I ever did in countless years on Reddit!

I think on Reddit there was so many voices I hardly felt it was worth posting or commenting. Someone else would have already posted my thoughts and done it much more eloquently than I would have.

Here every little act of engagement helps, so I’m just jumping right in to posting & commenting without second guessing myself.

Good idea. The more activity we have, the more we will get... It's a positive feedback loop

I don't lurk, I just don't come on Lemmy often. By the way, what instance (be il Lemmy or Kbin) would you recommend to the little Frenchy I am? Want to help Lemmy.ml NOT implode.
