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

Not just Lemmy as a Reddit alternative, but I've fallen in love with the Fediverse in general. It's kind of how I always imagined social media to be like, though it still has a ways to go and has been held back because "mainstream" platforms have monopolized users and power. I definitely want to be more active here.

This is what it's like when platforms are made by the community for the community.
