Lemmy

More than that, spread the word around. Help people register. If Reddit users don't know that lemmy exists no one will use it. We have to get more people AWARE.

Posting memes always seemed so easy until you have to do it lmao

wildly hits keys on the keyboard

i suppose i will not lurk

Don't tell me what to do!

Ah shit...

Ok, you win this round.

Yeah I use to be a mad lurker in Reddit, but Lemmy I have become so much more active

Based on my experiences on Reddit, I've honestly found that voting is not just incredibly easy¹, but also something that at least I found myself engaging with when I didn't want to write a comment myself LOL

¹ due to the very local results of votes in this kind of format, it doesn't have the same feel as, say, a thumbs up on YouTube (and I very rarely engage with thumbs up etc as a result there), if that makes sense? Like, it's limited to that particular level of the conversation

I already blocked access to reddit on my network, so lurking is not an option for me ;)

I’m here, I’m reading, I’m engaged in liking posts and voting, and thank you for the reminder to not lurk thanks reminds me of irc chat days

Excited to be here y'all.

Aye, captain o7! I've pretty much always lurked online, something about making posts that will possibly be on the internet forever scares me. Despite my anxiety, I've posted some art on my Kbin account, might upload some cat pics soon too.

Usually a lurker, but I'll make an effort to be active over here.

Been doing my part. Logged out of Reddit last night (will delete all data and then the account if no changes are made by the 29th). I wanna see lemmy get bigger and grow. Plus my favorite part of Reddit were the discussions and such, I want to see the same engagement here!

I'll try to remember to post things here that may be relevant

Testing cross-instance posting from my own

Alright... this marks the end of my lurking lifestyle then, I guess ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I used to pretty much just lurk when I used reddit, I'd maybe post a comment every few months, but really I'd just lurk. I've easily past the number of posts and comments I ever made to reddit during the many years of using it daily. Initially I wanted to make an effort for Lemmy to succeed, obviously it has less people so as your post is suggesting, I was trying to do my part. I found I really enjoy posting here though, the community is really great.

I'm not lurking, I'm writing this comment.

Huh. So that's how you comment!

I never posted on Reddit but lurked it for years using Reddit is Fun. I feel like their decision to essentially kill third party apps is just the start of pushing terrible changes that will turn Reddit into something like Facebook.

After learning a bit about how Lemmy works I'm really interested to see how it grows! Without any one person or organization at the helm it'll be interesting to see what communities naturally flourish.

It's nice to be part of a smaller community again! Hopefully we see more people make the switch

I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and trying to set up a game thread for the NHL Stanley Cup Finals game tomorrow. Please come join and discuss if you're interested!

Yeah I keep telling myself to comment. It really doesn't come naturally to me after years of lurking.

Hello, new reddit refugee here. I've been hearing about the fediverse and mastodon some time now. Heard about lemmy a couple of months ago, but didn't feel the need to make an account at the time. With the dumpsterfire that's going on in reddit I figured it was high time I jumped ship.

I have a question that might sound stupid. Is there a way to get the same functionality as reddit's custom feeds in lemmy? Where you have multiple feeds that are "subscribed" to different sets of communities.

It's really different compared to a lot of forums in the early days where everyone use to say 'lurk moar'

Resisting the urge to lurk, it’s making the platform more enjoyable

Just created a magazine for EASportsFC (formerly FIFA)! I kept looking to see if someone would make a magazine and just said why not make it myself. (insert squidward meme "when i’m in a worst moderator competition and my opponent is NeighborlyNomad")

Good suggestion. I was always guilty of lurking on Reddit in the past, I'll make more of an effort here. 😊

I'm a little confused on how to find more communities to join. I'm on the feddit.nl instance, and I know I can subscribe to communities on any instance, but there isn't really a search button or anything like that, at least not on the Jerboa app. Is there, like, a user guide on how this shit works?

Commented and voted.

And just noticed I can bold and format easily?
