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

It’s up to us to choose where we spend our time online. No matter what everyone does, we have the option to share the ineffable part of our humanity — our thoughts and words — wherever we like. We could choose a place that wants to capitalize on what we share, or we could choose a place where what we share is ours. Wherever and whenever we do post, click, engage — we cast our votes. My vote is for this truly public square, and I do hope a robust community develops here, whatever size it may be. :-)
