I'm confused by Lemmy but also excited to try and help it grow.

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!
hello, fellow human!
Hello! I’m the same user, just moved to another instance!
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.

Sounds to me like a call for shitposters to assemble lol
Has anyone found a good shitposting forum yet?
Don't tell me what to do!
Ah shit...
Ok, you win this round.
Let's defeat the 90/9/1-rule!
What is this rule? I've never heard of it.
On any given social media site, 90% of people only lurk, 9% of people comment on content, and 1% of people post the actual content.
Yeah sounds about right
Wow. I can see how easy it is to assume "the norm" is what is that based on the twitter or reddit feeds when in reality that's just 1% of people who bothered to speak up. I wonder if there's a way to measure the same statistics on lemmy?
I feel like leaving reddit is a big change in my life. Hopefully, Lemmy takes off and remains a much more positive place.
I've been on reddit for far longer than I'd care to admit. It's been a weird feeling deleting all of my bookmarks and apps in an attempt to avoid just absently mindedly returning.
I'm not lurking. You are!
My first comment on Lemmy.
Here leaving my comment in support to this. I wasn't really active on reddit.
I already blocked access to reddit on my network, so lurking is not an option for me ;)
vim :)
Is there any Android app that looks exactly like the website? I absolutely love the UI of the website but I prefer apps.

Lemmy sprawls thanks to his dislike of Reddit's new rules. This is both a virtue and a problem at the same time. Reading 1,000 "Reddit is about to fall apart" posts or copies of old Reddit posts is quite tedious. Oh yeah, there's also the defederation announcements, it's even more tedious to read that nonsense. Guys, you have not had time to consolidate, and already arranging a rant.
Anyone know if there is an app to use for IOS? I’m trying Mlem and I do like where they are going with the app it just bums me out how often it crashes. Also, I hope the influx of ex-Redditors really helps Lemmy and the Fediverse take off.

But I have nothing interesting to say...
A large part of the conversations on this site over th last few days has been about a guy who didn't want to shit for 3 days, the bar isn't incredibly high lol
I think, for mass appeal lemmy will ultimatively need communities for popular topics (games, trends, etc.), which can bring in lots of new users. From what I've seen so far the topics are still rather niche, or can't compete with identical communites on major platforms. When the traction starts getting big enough, it might just run on its own.
This comment is also more or less a test, trying out the platform.
Hello fellow lemmings
Lemmings
I have been way more active here than i have been on other platforms. I have what like 3 comments now? So that's not saying much ha.
Huzzah!
