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
test comment please ignore
Ok here’s a meme that is unrelated to anything we’re discussing but always cracks me up:
Definitely. Everyone on Lemmy at this time seems very reasonable as well and I am finding that the discussion is typically of a much higher quality than on Reddit, so for those who don’t usually engage, try it, it’s definitely worth a shot here.
I’m doing my part! turns head towards camera
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!
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!
I’ll post my puppy everyone likes puppies.
This is kinda exciting ngl
Woah, I’m lurkin’ here!
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 lurked for years at Reddit before posting. doing it here on the first day
This is the way.

ppfft, get on my level scrub. :P
Holy shit that’s amazing! I really need to step up my game.
My screentime for reddit was like, 30 hours a week before this week.
I probably should’ve quit link aggregation sites altogether. Would’ve been more healthy. It’s like a part time job lmao.
Wow. You just made me check and I was on reddit for 14 hours a week. Hopefully the fediverse won’t be as addictive (so far is not looking good)
I don’t use Screen Time for this exact reason. I don’t wanna know how much I used Reddit, and I don’t wanna know how much time I’ll spend on Lemmy.
They’ve truly fucked up by messing with the few users like you that basically hold the site together. Welcome, and remember to spend time doing healthy activities, will you? ;)
*remembers my actual job being a truck driver working 6 days a week*
yeah… healthy. yup.
Hahaha nice, made me exhale
I mean idk how long youve done it for but if it hasnt killed you then it cant be that bad for you.
I’m in my 20’s, there’s plenty of time lol. Just a lot of sitting. And way too many hours working a week, plus an ever changing schedule resulting in terrible sleep.
And admittedly this is a nice passive way to decompress after a work day
I thought Rogers was strictly Canadian, but you moderate Houston Texans community?
Lol, it had nothing to do with Rogers the telecom company. That’s just the URL I happened to own for personal reasons.

At this rate I’ll take you over soon!
Holy smokes 84 comments? You must have commenting superpowers or something
135 by my count. (Just means I’ve been commenting in communities that your instance hasn’t discovered yet)
Edit: instance, not insurance lmao
