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 started using Mastodon a couple if years ago; didn't stay for long but it definitely felt more...friendly than Reddit, or personal I suppose. Glad I found Lemmy though I love the message board/forum format way better than a Twitter like format that Mastodon seems to have, though I do like both

Yea the twitter way of doing it feels more like yelling in a room filled with people, trying to be the loudest. The message board/forum feels more like discussions. But to each his own I guess
