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 can understand this, but im looking at this post from my instance (lemmyNSFW) and it has 16 score and 89 comments. But on lemmy.ml this same post has 1.28k score and 662 comments.

    Why is that so different? If they are like different email programs, shouldnt the email chains be the same no matter which program you use?

      I suspect it only reports the activity from that instance. Definitely feels like there is some room for improvement.
