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 🙂

Are you counting us off world visitors

[–] BackOnMyBS 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't know because I don't understand your question. How does someone count others off of world visitors? Perhaps you could rephrase the question?

I think they mean people from other lemmy instances lol

I thought they were an extra terrestrial.

I meant off world as I'm not on this instance I'm on another world are only people who are members of lemmy.world counted or is anyone who comments or subs from another instance counted

[–] BackOnMyBS 1 points 1 year ago

Ah, I might understand now.

As far as new users, it's evident I was only referring to on world users. The total number of users across Lemmy is surely much higher, but I don't have that number. I think there's a website posted around here somewhere (maybe on kbin) that tracks that.

As far as posting, I think everyone in every instance should increase engagement by posting and commenting.
