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

Well, I did quite literally just get this instance set up, so I guess just posting random comments is necessary.

And random replies! Discussions are what makes a social media, social. :)

Replies?! Nobody told me there'd be replies!

I have to say, knowing we are humans talking to each other and not bots astro turfing everything, feels nice. Hopefully it lasts.

100% agreed, my friend. I have quite a bit of hope for this new frontier of federated social. we are going to have lots of growing pains but, for the first time, I think us plebs have a real say in our future.

You'll take my API key from my cold dead hands!
