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
Aight I’m going to have to get out of my lurking shell. Thankfully I’ve already commented more here in the last day and a half than I did on Reddit in months lol
I’ll probably contribute to the tech and programming communities since that’s my thing. Maybe generate some traction/discussion by posting articles I find fascinating
