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

Never rly participated when I was on reddit, but the fact that we must now participate to make lemmy a thing makes the community awesome I think and much more welcoming than on reddit and thus that's a huge incentive to post, comment and participate IMO

Lemmy reminds me of reddit is fun

Good call. I’m really digging it here. I have my home instance in programming.dev with a pretty relaxed community there, and I can subscribe to even the popular stuff.

I’m gonna stick this out awhile.

I have been way more active here than i have been on other platforms. I have what like 3 comments now? So that's not saying much ha.

Do we get any benefit from hosting our own Lemmy server? I am a tech nerd and love new IT projects. Sorry if this is off topic, please redirect me someplace else if there is a better thread to ask my question in.
