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
I hadn’t thought of it like that. But yes, you’re right. Kinda feels like everyone has a voice here. Hopefully it stays that way as it grows. Although I will miss the more “niche” subs, I think this is likely to fill the hole that the other site is drilling in most users lives.
