Do your part, try not to lurk! (lemmy.ml)

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

So, should we recreate our favorite subreddits too get them going?

Make sure to use browse.feddit.de to see if there is already a community before creating your own. We also don't want to fragment and make the main communities harder to find.

Thanks for this! What a very useful website! This is all so new and confusing that a centralized list of communities is super helpful. Now it's just in deciding which instance to actually use your account on, as that I'm not sure. At the moment, I have an account on kbin social and a couple of lemmy communities, although I'm not sure which would be most advantageous to browse everything with. I'm on Android if it helps, and know of the Jerboa app (which seems to primarily use lemmy communities), but it's definitely not full featured.
