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
/c/microthoughts and /c/showerthoughts for random thoughts and observations
Share interesting quotes, links, articles, videos, etc. that you saved (E.g: Youtube liked videos)

What else do you suggest?

I was never much of a posting or comment person on Reddit, but I am trying for Lemmy. I refuse to go back to Reddit and I hope I can contribute to these communities. Let's do it folks!

I posted maybe two dozen things, mostly text, and lurked maybe commenting 10 times a week, despite using bacon reader 16+hours a week. I'm trying to participate more by commenting. Maybe posting will become more of a thing if I find some relevant communities.

That's ok. I've shitposted hours a day for years. Reddit was a tapestry, and we're slowly removing the best threads from Reddit's tapestry and reweaving them here.

Yeah! It'll take time but we'll get there!
