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

but, in a better world, circumvention should never be needed. with peertube, lemmy, mastodon, et al. there is no concept of circumvention - there is nothing to circumvent. thats the end goal here, at least for me (and I hope for others as well)

Yeah, and in the Open Source nature of the fediverse applications alternate frontends will also be able to thrive. (though the main fediverse app frontends come less cluttered / cleaner out of the box)
