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 with Reddit you gotta be there early in a post to get interacted with. If it’s 5-6 hours since the post was made you’re only likely to get a few scattered upvotes.

It felt a bit off at first to not have the top comments all be the ones with the most votes, but I like how it works on lemmy after spending time here.

You can join an old thread and not feel like it’s pointless to add to the discussion!
