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

This really needs more awareness. Today I searched for a specific game (Honkai Star Rail) and found one, then a second popped up a few minutes later on a different instance. Hardly anyone is on either, but it’s a thing that people need to consider before just making a new one. Especially moving forward.

Since I imagine this is going to be a chronic problem for the Fediverse I wonder if there's a technical solution, like multireddits. If I find two communities that are identical in content it'd be nice to set my subscription to them to be "merged" so that I see them both mixed together.

There isn't a solution right now but it's technically feasible as far as I know.
