If you want Lemmy to succeed, stop lurking and contribute with some content:

Take inspiration from your saved Reddit posts
Share a photo you took with your phone

I suggest that:

if you are able to, help with development:
- look through open issues, give answers and advice
- participate in the feature request discussions
- maybe even make pull requests
Help people who are confused about how things work
- explain that many current issues are not present by design but because project is still early in development
Encourage other people to help develop Lemmy and help take care of newcomers
promote Lemmy in other parts of the internet
