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

I'd like to post things, but are the communities, instances or whatever superagressive if you "Post the wrong thing to the wrong place TM", even by accident or misunderstanding? I stopped contributing to Reddit because of it.

And can the post-box be at the top of the page, before comments instead of at the bottom?

Good to see more comments than upvotes

I used to lurk a lot of subreddits but I guess that will be no longer. RIP Reddit. Long live Lemmy!

Oh, that’s interesting, the reply box is all the way down here. I’ll see what I can do here as far as activity goes, I don’t know what fediverse is but it sounds like something worth taking part in.

Well I am somewhat of a lurker myself and came to know about lemmy recently. Commenting here for engagement and gonna try to be more active from now on.

Who'd win in a wrestling match, Lemmy or God?

Good idea. The more activity we have, the more we will get... It's a positive feedback loop
