Tip to help welcome the exodus: Post and comment to increase engagement (lemmy.world)

Hi all,

The lemmy.world instance has reportedly increased to over 1k users. I think it was like at just 200 2-3 days ago. That's wild!

Anyway, I've noticed a few posts/comments by new users, mostly from the reddit exodus, hoping for increased engagement in lemmy communities. We can help this merely by posting and commenting. Lots of users are going to come over to glance and see if this is a good place for them. If they see little to no interaction, then many of them will leave. But if they see that communities are active, they will be more apt to stay and join. So, I suggest we all start posting and commenting. If your post/comment suck, then don't worry. Users will downvote it lol. We just need to spark conversation. Let's get to it!

Ok, I'm going to follow my own suggestion and start posting on /c/[email protected]. All neurotypes are welcome, so feel free to stop on by and join as you please 🙂

I am definitely a Redditfugee, I've been posting a little bit today and have gotten some responses. I look forward to engaging somewhere other than Reddit, it's just going to take me some time to figure out how this all works. I started by subbing to about 30 "magazines" (I'm using kbin) that are relevant to my interests. Not entirely sure how to filter the homepage view to prioritize those but I will figure it out.

Hello, fellow kbin user! How did you set a profile picture? I’m not finding any way to do it on my profile.
