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

I've been on Reddit since 2011 and modern reddit is way too intimidating even for me. Some communities like ShowerThoughts have effectively become possible to even post in, and others that used to be nice are now hyper moderated.
