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

I deleted Boost for Reddit. That's about the only way I liked it. Now all I need is Boost for Lemmy.

Boost for Lemmy would be awesome, here's hoping!

Check out Jerboa for lemmy. It hits a lot of the features the I loved about Boost. The app is fairly early alpha but if it keeps going for a while it could be a drop in replacement.

Funny you should say! Jerboa for Lemmy is what I'm using now. It leaves some to be desired but I'm hoping the influx of users helps it's development and/or developers like Boost decide to adapt to Lemmy.
