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

I'm doing my part! - shamelessly copied from somebody else

Being new here I think I'll mostly lurk at first. But here goes my first comment anyways. Looking forward to a growing community.

I'll wait and see how things go.

It’s a bit difficult getting into Lemmy and the feediverse I gotta say. But after looking around for a while I really like how things work here, compared to reddit

Trying my best! I have an account on lemmy.ml but with the increase in traffic I’m barely able to use it! Moving to this one which has already helped. Anyone reading this feel free to send a message and say hi!

I used to lurk a lot of subreddits but I guess that will be no longer. RIP Reddit. Long live Lemmy!

Just downloaded and installed Jerboa on my phone. This is me trying to do my part to help out a user-friendly Reddit replacement.

Gladly! (now that I finally figured out how to comment in Jerboa) 👍

The best thing about Lemmy is that it's still so raw. There is so much potential for it to be turned into something really great. Then again, television was once like that, I suppose - so was the internet, now I think about it. Oh well, at least I'm not lurking.

Lemmy is the light for all the reddit lurkers! We will get there!

I really like kbin.social, but it's hard for me to figure out how to start a new Threaded post. I can add a new "article" or "link", but what about just a text post?

Also I am not sure how my home feed is populated - I can subscribe to federated stuff and local stuff, but most of what I'm seeing is not from anything I've subscribed to. Is it more like r/popular?

Trying my best! I'm trying to decide if I want to open my instance up to more users or not as well.
