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

It's like a new chapter of internet history! Maybe. Seeing Reddit getting dark was chilling. Edit: Wait, some subreddits did go dark already, right? Or am I just feeling the pressing atmosphere?

Oh yeah. Many have already gone dark. The real D-Day is the 12th.

Yeah, a slow trickle of subreddits have already gone dark in response to the announcement of all the 3rd party apps shutting down at the end of the month. And I imagine today's AMA fiasco has only accelerated that
