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

Much of the meme content is in the form of GIF and as fare as I see, Lemmy does not support uploading GIFs. Will this format be supported in the near future?

You can hyperlink to them, see my Rick and Morty gif a few comments above, i didnt upload that.

Hmm ... that's all I can see in Firefox... (its fresh install btw.) I have to check the mobile app if it shows up there. But even in the meme communities I only see GIFs sometimes in the comments but not in the posts

Ahh that’s strange, I’m posting from safari on iPhone and it loads fine, has a play button though.
