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

Long time no see, Lemmy. I hope Reddit ending is for the best, and I hope all my precious communities migrate to open source software.

I couldnt say it better. Social media must be controlled by the people using it. There is no other option except bad products promoting dangerous ideas to keep people rich.
