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

People will probably start using reddit again, but it doesn't mean everyone is going to abandon Mastodon or Lemmy. Some certainly, but many will just use them both. I have all three apps installed now and intend to keep using them all.
