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

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.

Reddit will die when the 3rd party apps go dark. So just wait, everyone will be back on the 1st

Nah mate, they'll just download the official Reddit app. You severely overestimate how much the average Redditor actually cares about all this.
