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

well, it was a pleasure to reminisce a little and it's refreshing to see the enthusiasm for wresting control away from the conglomerates - the degree to which the internet has been commercialized, monetized and basically stolen from us along with our personal information, political process and practically anything else they could corrupt is dismaying to an old man, I gotta tell ya. Please do your utmost to fix it!
