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 like Lemmy! I'll add something to the conversation, just this once...

[–] Olaipai@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel personally attacked! I will not tolerate this, and I will do the one thing no lurker would ever think of under normal circumstances!

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

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?

I wonder if it wouldn't be wise to try and emulate some of the easier/more participatable subreddits here. Askreddit theads for instance are a big pull (even if they tend to be. well, redditors post on them use your imagination).

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.

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.

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 .
