Right now the user count on Lemmy 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

    This point can never be stressed enough. I can’t lurk like I did on Reddit if no one else posts anything! I don’t even like basketball and here I am posting things I see on ESPN…

      You’re doing a great job with the sport community! Your efforts are not going unnoticed.

      Hey, just wondering if you’re seeing my recent posts on here. I made an account on @fanaticus.social since lemmy.world has been having some issues lately. And I noticed that a lot of my posts aren’t showing up here when I view from the fanaticus account. Especially posts from the last week or so.
