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 reports of users being shadowbanned on Reddit for mentioning lemmy in the wrong places, careful out there people! Not that our Reddit accounts will see much use soon…

For anyone who is concerned about this, you can use reddit.com/r/shadowban to check if you are shadowbanned or not.
