Do your part, try not to lurk! (lemmy.ml)

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

It was recommended to me over Reddit as well. As I said in another comment, I've dabbled with Mastodon as well but I think I may like Lemmy more

this has been one reason for the "nuke your content, keep your account" idea. whenever you feel the urge hop back onto reddit and gently and politely drop the fact that Lemmy exists.

but honestly, do whatever works for you and keeps you engaged in user centric federated social.
