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

    Honestly, I feel more comfortable participating on Lemmy than I ever did on Reddit or Twitter.

      I agree. This place appears to be more inviting and friendly. I’m not worried that I’m going to make a spelling mistake and never hear the end of it

        I feel you. On Reddit I was always afraid to get 1000 of comments telling me I’m stupid or how could I do xyz. I really like it here on Lemmy, everyone is just so welcoming and not at all mad that so many of us (former) Redditors are joining.

      Reddit’s main attraction for me was RPAN, which of course they ditched. I hope to see a day when musicians can play live on the fediverse. I don’t know how, but it sure would be cool.
