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
Honestly, I feel more comfortable participating on Lemmy than I ever did on Reddit or Twitter.
Reddit’s main attraction for me was RPAN, which of course they ditched. I hope to see a day when musicians can play live on the fediverse. I don’t know how, but it sure would be cool.
Yeah reddit got very toxic near the end…
