Tip to help welcome the exodus: Post and comment to increase engagement (self.lemmyworld)

Hi all,

The lemmy.world instance has reportedly increased to over 1k users. I think it was like at just 200 2-3 days ago. That's wild!

Anyway, I've noticed a few posts/comments by new users, mostly from the reddit exodus, hoping for increased engagement in lemmy communities. We can help this merely by posting and commenting. Lots of users are going to come over to glance and see if this is a good place for them. If they see little to no interaction, then many of them will leave. But if they see that communities are active, they will be more apt to stay and join. So, I suggest we all start posting and commenting. If your post/comment suck, then don't worry. Users will downvote it lol. We just need to spark conversation. Let's get to it!

Ok, I'm going to follow my own suggestion and start posting on /c/[email protected]. All neurotypes are welcome, so feel free to stop on by and join as you please 🙂

I'm excited for it! There was an attempt at a mass reddit exodus over 5 years ago (I can't remember exactly when). The other sites I attempted didn't have anywhere the level of engagement that the Fediverse if getting now, and I think things are really going to pick up steam here once the blackout hits followed by the 3rd party apps shutting down. Things are looking pretty good for change 🙂

If I remember correctly it was over censorship issues and I tried Voat for a while around then but it didn't turn out. I'm optimistic about lemmy so far though.
