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

Good to see more comments than upvotes

I like Lemmy! I'll add something to the conversation, just this once...

Oh, that’s interesting, the reply box is all the way down here. I’ll see what I can do here as far as activity goes, I don’t know what fediverse is but it sounds like something worth taking part in.

Good idea. The more activity we have, the more we will get... It's a positive feedback loop

I will do my part!

I'd like to post things, but are the communities, instances or whatever superagressive if you "Post the wrong thing to the wrong place TM", even by accident or misunderstanding? I stopped contributing to Reddit because of it.

And can the post-box be at the top of the page, before comments instead of at the bottom?

Much of the meme content is in the form of GIF and as fare as I see, Lemmy does not support uploading GIFs. Will this format be supported in the near future?

I have been way more active here than i have been on other platforms. I have what like 3 comments now? So that's not saying much ha.

Finally I can speak instead of fearing bots and lurkers.

The last few days i've honestly just been lurking trying to figure out the UI and all that, really loving it so far but now that i've somewhat figured it out I plan on being more active
