Do your part, try not to lurk! (lemmy.ml)

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'm trying to not lurk, but it's a hard habit to break

Set up my instance to come here to report that I am not lurking o7

I wish signing up was easier for non technical users.

I understand the need for approving new sign ups but this can be off putting for new users.

I took a long break from Lemmy and I returned after the Reddit fiasco. I was active on mk.absturztau.be.

Oh, that’s interesting, the reply box is all the way down here. I’ll see what I can do here as far as activity goes, I don’t know what fediverse is but it sounds like something worth taking part in.

Lemmy is the light for all the reddit lurkers! We will get there!

If you just quit reddit because they dropped support for same mobile application there is a lot you should learn. Learn what free software is https://www.fsf.org/about/what-is-free-software learn about Aaron Swartz.

Hi?

I'll try not to lurk, even though I'm use to lurking.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

It's lurkin time

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Alright... this marks the end of my lurking lifestyle then, I guess ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Good idea. The more activity we have, the more we will get... It's a positive feedback loop
