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

I'mma count the days until I get a Genshin community to join. Hopefully we get the Genshin leaks one, it has the least cringe.

Same problem Mastodon had, the content consumers joined, but the content creators didn't, so there was nothing on the platform to engage with.

And let's be real, Lemmy is going to face the same fate when inevitably the Reddit protest ends in a couple days and everyone goes back to Reddit. Reddit is going to survive.

I feel personally attacked! I will not tolerate this, and I will do the one thing no lurker would ever think of under normal circumstances!

Are there (already) apps for Lemmy?

Jeroba is alright if you don't ming the white flash when you click on things. Reminds me of sync.
