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! After killing my 11 year old Reddit account

I'll try my best 😅

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.

Granny always used to say if you have nothing clever to say it's better to stay silent

You can't tell me what to do!

Jokes on you - by making that comment, I already won 😎

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

In all seriousness: I am trying. Hard to break the habit of lurking. But on the other hand I'll often upvote something, so thats engagement right there :-)

edit: also since someone said "less memes" - I'd recommend you this watch on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

If you want me to comment, there will be SOME memes. Heck, look at OP's handle, how did you expect me NOT to do it? :O

Much of the meme content is in the form of GIF and as fare as I see, Lemmy does not support uploading GIFs. Will this format be supported in the near future?

Well, I did quite literally just get this instance set up, so I guess just posting random comments is necessary.

[–] pyska@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And random replies! Discussions are what makes a social media, social. :)

[–] ace@lemmy.ananace.dev 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Replies?! Nobody told me there'd be replies!

Your arms are certainly in very consistent sizes compared to one another. I would say that the entire photograph is a masterpiece of realism!

Who can actually see the gif here? Reports are its not universal across all browsers.

Loads for me with a play button on safari on iphone

Always a bad sign when one of the top comments is trying to compel users to engage.

[–] ComradeR@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

I'm upvoting posts and comments, and I'm sporadically commenting in other users posts. But I'm still getting confidence to post things cause everything is new and I'm kinda insecure with the possibility of messing things up.

Yes, people who are leaving reddit are making Lemmy more active which was the only missing thing to make me delete reddit entirely. Before that it was too slow to get new content but now it is alright, thanx to reddit, long life to lemmy .

If you just quit reddit because they dropped support for same mobile application there is a lot you should learn. Learn what free software is https://www.fsf.org/about/what-is-free-software learn about Aaron Swartz.
