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

    Yeah I keep telling myself to comment. It really doesn’t come naturally to me after years of lurking.

      I’ve got 5years on reddit and about 10comments, time to stop lurking I guess.
