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

Definitely. Everyone on Lemmy at this time seems very reasonable as well and I am finding that the discussion is typically of a much higher quality than on Reddit, so for those who don't usually engage, try it, it's definitely worth a shot here.

Reddit conversations have always been either “Google en passant” or something worthwhile, or the third one where it’s just an agreement. Can’t say I am not guilty of doing all of them.
