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

Works fine for me, try your image format

Thanks for trying. I think it might be the instance I'm connected through (lemm.ee) other people have said the same on there locally.

Each instance is pretty customizable. Admins can disable things like image uploads and with so many people joining I could see why. Hosting all that could easily get expensive!

Ah yeh, you're probably right. Especially if people started uploading videos!

In the age of endless uploads everywhere, we all forgot that hosting large files for many people is not always easy!

I think of those early 00 stories in the time before we called content creators, content creators. Too many people visiting their self hosted videos was a bad thing that would end up costing more money than they made!
