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

Usually a lurker, but I'll make an effort to be active over here.

I'm not lurking. You are!

There is no engagement algorithm; it's us :)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I don't mean am engagement algorithm, I mean engagement as in content to engage with. No one is going to want to move to lemmy of they come here and it looks like there isn't anything going on

I'll try to remember to post things here that may be relevant

Silly question maybe. How do I search for other servers to join when in an app? Is it possible? I’m using memmy for iPhone.

I'm a little confused on how to find more communities to join. I'm on the feddit.nl instance, and I know I can subscribe to communities on any instance, but there isn't really a search button or anything like that, at least not on the Jerboa app. Is there, like, a user guide on how this shit works?

Huh. So that's how you comment!

I think one of the challenges is explaining the concept of how instances work. How to visit other instances, etc. It's an issue mastadon has too. It's not very intuitive to the non-tech savvy.

Agreed! I am curious with this, how did you guys find out about Lemmy? In my case, I was scrolling through Reddit and saw somebody talking about Lemmy. I researched a little bit and here I am! I would love to hear from y'all tho

Trying my best! I have an account on lemmy.ml but with the increase in traffic I’m barely able to use it! Moving to this one which has already helped. Anyone reading this feel free to send a message and say hi!

This is my first comment. I just made an account on Lemmy.world. If I’m correct, users from other instances have a second @ in their name while native users do not.

Hi, I'm here! Signed up on an instance a few days ago with all this BS going on at Reddit, and I just read the "AMA" with spez. Absolutely ridiculous. I would love to see Lemmy take off. Just trying to get the hang of it at the moment, and I hope an iPhone app comes.

I am glad u/iamthatis saved the recordings because u/spez is a liar. I live in a one-party consent state myself, so I know what u/iamthatis did was legal.

Been doing my part. Logged out of Reddit last night (will delete all data and then the account if no changes are made by the 29th). I wanna see lemmy get bigger and grow. Plus my favorite part of Reddit were the discussions and such, I want to see the same engagement here!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (6 children)

It's really different compared to a lot of forums in the early days where everyone use to say 'lurk moar'

Just created a magazine for EASportsFC (formerly FIFA)! I kept looking to see if someone would make a magazine and just said why not make it myself. (insert squidward meme "when i’m in a worst moderator competition and my opponent is NeighborlyNomad")
