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’m doing my part! turns head towards camera
Ok here’s a meme that is unrelated to anything we’re discussing but always cracks me up:
I’ll post my puppy everyone likes puppies.
I lurked for years at Reddit before posting. doing it here on the first day
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.
Unless of course if the content you want to share is random memes and want others to do the same in your community. Please be nice to your instance owner’s costs and link not upload the images.
Right, quality memes. On it.
U wot m8
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!
test post please don’t ignore
You’re right, I’ll try. I enjoy reading, but often get overwhelmed with trying to respond, so I end up just giving up and not finishing my
On no don’t tell me Candlejack has appeared on Lemmy alr
I’m pretty sure you’re safe from Candlejack in the fediverse, after all it’s
I’m just scared of everyone shitting on me tbh. My ego is too fragile for comments from strangers.
nice! :-)
Woah, I’m lurkin’ here!
You can’t tell me what to do!
I just wanted to say that I am impressed with the mentality here. Everyone seems so engaged (at least at first now) that Lemmy feels alive although we are relatively few people, still. That reminds me somewhat of the early stages of the internet, when everything was still new and you felt special for being part of something big blowing up. Keep it up and try not to create redundant communities on every instance!
Long time no see, Lemmy. I hope Reddit ending is for the best, and I hope all my precious communities migrate to open source software.
