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

Congrats you just said something!

Same. If I don't feel I can add anything of interest, I usually don't.

I lurk mostly because I feel like its pointless to comment in places with already thousands of them. Someone has likely already shared/commented what I'm thinking about but I need to snap out of that here. At least till this place takes off

I think that's whats great about here. I feel like there's always something to add. Whereas with other socials you never know what you are gonna get in reply or whatever.
