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

Lemmy sprawls thanks to his dislike of Reddit's new rules. This is both a virtue and a problem at the same time. Reading 1,000 "Reddit is about to fall apart" posts or copies of old Reddit posts is quite tedious. Oh yeah, there's also the defederation announcements, it's even more tedious to read that nonsense. Guys, you have not had time to consolidate, and already arranging a rant.

Totally agree, we need to build for the long term. Engagement has power.

I try but I rarely post. I did seem to kinda revive the [email protected] community so that's dope. I hope people keep posting there.
