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 tired, boss.

Very true! I will try and be active here, for the sake of this project.

Hmm...my comment from my Reddthat.com instance account isn't showing up outside that instance. Checking to see if my Lemmyone.com instance account's comment shows up.

MEME TIME!

I've pretty much been a lurker on reddit. Already have commented a bit on here. Probably about as much as I commented on reddit in a half years time.

Planting a flag here. [Awarding myself a participation trophy]

I feel personally attacked! I will not tolerate this, and I will do the one thing no lurker would ever think of under normal circumstances!

Anyone know if there is an app to use for IOS? I’m trying Mlem and I do like where they are going with the app it just bums me out how often it crashes. Also, I hope the influx of ex-Redditors really helps Lemmy and the Fediverse take off.

I suspect the convos with the most activity in the next few days will be the ones about how to use Lemmy et al

Lemmy sprawls thanks to his dislike of Reddit's new rules. This is both a virtue and a problem at the same time. Reading 1,000 "Reddit is about to fall apart" posts or copies of old Reddit posts is quite tedious. Oh yeah, there's also the defederation announcements, it's even more tedious to read that nonsense. Guys, you have not had time to consolidate, and already arranging a rant.

But I have nothing interesting to say...
