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

There is no engagement algorithm; it's us :)

I don't mean am engagement algorithm, I mean engagement as in content to engage with. No one is going to want to move to lemmy of they come here and it looks like there isn't anything going on
