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’ve seen a few people use the term magazine now, is that basically the same thing as a subreddit/community? Is that term used mostly on a specific instance?

Yes, a magazine seems to be kbin’s name for a subreddit. I haven’t considered that other instances could have a different name for it.

I'm fairly sure kbin calls em magazine, lemmy (where I'm at) calls them communities.
