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
Trying my best! I have an account on lemmy.ml but with the increase in traffic I’m barely able to use it! Moving to this one which has already helped.
Anyone reading this feel free to send a message and say hi!
