Do your part, try not to lurk! (lemmy.ml)

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

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!

Will lead to some instances becoming larger parts of the ecosystem than others, but as this scales we should see a better choice of instances so will level out in time. Is lemmy.ml the largest instance currently?

I believe it is!

There are a few places with more complete information of every instance. I have this one on hand:

That's very cool, thank you for the link! (I'm not who you responded to)

No worries! Finding information about communities and whatnot can be a process of just stumbling upon the right comment
