Do your part, try not to lurk!

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

test comment please ignore

wischi,

To be fair, I'm not sure if it helps to generate "fake" activity. IMHO the migration to lemmy will only work if the content will at least have a minimum amount of quality. Just posting random memes is probably not a good way to start.

setInner234,

Another lurker here. Been well over a decade and this is the first time I feel like contributing again. Really hope the fediverse catches on this time.

Lucy,

Ok here's a meme that is unrelated to anything we're discussing but always cracks me up:

Testing cross-instance posting from my own

bitsplease,

How’d you find the setup process for self hosting? I’ve got half a mind to do the same. I’ve already got self hosted Audiobook Shelf and home assistant servers

Not lurking is such a hard habit to break. Especially with the way Reddit sorts comments, I'm so used to clicking into a thread to find some insightful discussion or hilarious joke that had already been made. But I'm trying my best, even by writing this comment!

Rentlar,

You are doing great!

If you just quit reddit because they dropped support for same mobile application there is a lot you should learn. Learn what free software is https://www.fsf.org/about/what-is-free-software learn about Aaron Swartz.

ratamacue,

I don't understand. I love free software more than the average person, but I choose the communities I belong to based on more things than the license of the underlying technology. What else do I need to learn?
