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 like Lemmy! I'll add something to the conversation, just this once...

Definitely. Everyone on Lemmy at this time seems very reasonable as well and I am finding that the discussion is typically of a much higher quality than on Reddit, so for those who don't usually engage, try it, it's definitely worth a shot here.

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

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

[–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hey people of the internet. So if I’m going to not lurk, and if I have a really weird sense of humour and am downright unfunny to most of my friends, where is my community here?

But lurking is my natural habitat.

Furthermore friends, please sort by new where possible to help give new posts visibility when you interact with them.

I won't lie, if you look at my Reddit profile you'll see that I've commented more here in the last couple of days than probably the last 3 years on Reddit. The community just feels more welcome and I feel as if my comment will get read instead of being drowned out as it happens on Reddit.

Interesting comment here, please upvote

[–] IverCoder@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

This is probably the first-ever post to surpass 1,000 upvotes.

[–] top@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

The last few days i've honestly just been lurking trying to figure out the UI and all that, really loving it so far but now that i've somewhat figured it out I plan on being more active

[–] zephyr@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sounds to me like a call for shitposters to assemble lol
