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, should we recreate our favorite subreddits too get them going?

@BoringToMyself @bitsplease Absolutely! The best way to get folks moved is through creation of their favorite subs in the #fediverse. Show them a viable alternative exists, runs mostly well, and they'll trickle in.
