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
This is me not lurking
I’ll post my puppy everyone likes puppies.
test comment please ignore
Ok here’s a meme that is unrelated to anything we’re discussing but always cracks me up:
I lurk most of the time because most of the time i have nothing to say
I’m doing my part! turns head towards camera
After 14 years on reddit I’m tired of watching it die, the death of Apollo is what pushed me over the edge, I loved Apollo. I’ve been browsing in here for the past few days. I like it. Trying to get used to it. Fuck reddit and u/spez all of the situation was trash. Thank you all for recommending this site!! I’m excited to be apart of it!
To be fair, I’m not sure if it helps to generate “fake” activity. IMHO the migration to lemmy will only work if the content will at least have a minimum amount of quality. Just posting random memes is probably not a good way to start.

I’m pretty sure you’re safe from Candlejack in the fediverse, after all it’s
After 10+ years of lurking on reddit I have commented five(?) times in one Lemmy week
I lurked for years at Reddit before posting. doing it here on the first day
Big time introverted lurker on reddit, since here is a much smaller community, I don’t feel so intimidated. I’ll try to be more active here. Let’s do this guys, let’s create a great place for all the Reddit Refugees. FUCK u/Spez!
I’m upvoting posts and comments, and I’m sporadically commenting in other users posts. But I’m still getting confidence to post things cause everything is new and I’m kinda insecure with the possibility of messing things up.
Not lurking is such a hard habit to break. Especially with the way Reddit sorts comments, I’m so used to clicking into a thread to find some insightful discussion or hilarious joke that had already been made. But I’m trying my best, even by writing this comment!
