Do your part, try not to lurk! (lemmy.ml)

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

So far I am loving that the communities I've subscribed to on Lemmy are not only interactive, but that the people interactive are genuinely contributing discussion and perspective! It's sooo refreshing. I fucking love it.

As we get more people joining I'm sure that will slowly change; if Lemmy gets easier for people to join then it will change. If Reddit goes down completely it will definitely change: most casual redditors probably won't move unless Reddit itself no longer has the content they want.

But right now? Ahh... I'm enjoying Lemmy more than I have Reddit in well over a year.
