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
Cool, I didn’t know we could embed images in posts and they’d show up inline. I wonder how long that will last, haha.
Oo oo I Wana try.

good to know!
“Would you like to know more?”
Can we share this info with others? Or is this like Netflix where you say yes then change your mind and bill me $8.99/per at a later point?
Hey cool a free image!
This is a great sign! The community is so healthy that somebody has already made the reference that I wanted to make.
For the federation, I will give my life!
I’ll post my puppy everyone likes puppies.
Big time introverted lurker on reddit, since here is a much smaller community, I don’t feel so intimidated. I’ll try to be more active here. Let’s do this guys, let’s create a great place for all the Reddit Refugees. FUCK u/Spez!
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.
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.

ppfft, get on my level scrub. :P
Holy shit that’s amazing! I really need to step up my game.
My screentime for reddit was like, 30 hours a week before this week.
I probably should’ve quit link aggregation sites altogether. Would’ve been more healthy. It’s like a part time job lmao.
They’ve truly fucked up by messing with the few users like you that basically hold the site together. Welcome, and remember to spend time doing healthy activities, will you? ;)
*remembers my actual job being a truck driver working 6 days a week*
yeah… healthy. yup.
Hahaha nice, made me exhale
Wow. You just made me check and I was on reddit for 14 hours a week. Hopefully the fediverse won’t be as addictive (so far is not looking good)
Goodbye, Reddit addiction!
Hello, Lemmy addiction.
Here before low-effort Reddit content floods the Fediverse. 🍻
I don’t use Screen Time for this exact reason. I don’t wanna know how much I used Reddit, and I don’t wanna know how much time I’ll spend on Lemmy.

At this rate I’ll take you over soon!
I thought Rogers was strictly Canadian, but you moderate Houston Texans community?
Lol, it had nothing to do with Rogers the telecom company. That’s just the URL I happened to own for personal reasons.
Holy smokes 84 comments? You must have commenting superpowers or something
135 by my count. (Just means I’ve been commenting in communities that your instance hasn’t discovered yet)
Edit: instance, not insurance lmao
test comment please ignore
Made an account 22 hours ago, been lurking around here and there, finally decided to post my first comment after reading this post. I’d like to get more involved, just trying to find my footing first. Speaking of - what app(s) is everyone using? I’m on Android, and just logged into Jerboa. Decent UI, not a fan of the flashing screen during transitions. Any recommendations on other apps? Thanks.
I’m doing my part! turns head towards camera
This is kinda exciting ngl
I lurk most of the time because most of the time i have nothing to say
Ok here’s a meme that is unrelated to anything we’re discussing but always cracks me up:
I feel reminded of the old days of the internet. It is invigorating discovering this Fediverse. Everything feels a lot more engaged than Reddit. I think it may be a good thing if this does not “take off” completely.
After 14 years on reddit I’m tired of watching it die, the death of Apollo is what pushed me over the edge, I loved Apollo. I’ve been browsing in here for the past few days. I like it. Trying to get used to it. Fuck reddit and u/spez all of the situation was trash. Thank you all for recommending this site!! I’m excited to be apart of it!
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.
