Do your part, try not to lurk!
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/1186515
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
You can't tell me what to do! You're not my real dad!
I just joined lemmy. Being a new user, is there a way to learn how to find the communities or groups I’m interested in?
Check out https://browse.feddit.de/
It lists all communities
We need a script that takes a copy-paste of a reddit page for joined subreddits and finds any related on that page
I'm finding myself already posting more than I ever did on Reddit. There doesn't seem to be the overwhelming dread of the usual crowd on Reddit chipping in with a snarky reply.
I'll have you know I was kind of a big deal back on reddit and demand a flair forthwith.
Post haste, even.
