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

    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.

        Thanks! I think I might actually like it more than Mlem. The ability to swipe to upvote is a really nice QoL feature.

          Agreed! And nice pace of updates, they’re pushing quickly.

        The main thing I don’t like with the website is you can’t collapse responses. Or if there is a way I missed how to do it which is totally possible.

          There’s a little minus box to the right of the user name. But for Android I think I prefer jerboa.

            You are amazing. I feel silly for not noticing that.

      So far iv been using a lemmy.world safari shortcut with a bit of Mlem here and there. I’ve been finding it hard to explore and find new communities through mlem with a few crashes here and there so use the website for that but it will take time and I’m sure Mlem will get there, it’s already a really nice interface and app to use just needs some additional features.
