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 like Lemmy! I'll add something to the conversation, just this once...

Gladly! (now that I finally figured out how to comment in Jerboa) 👍

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

Commenting for the engagement as requested, sir.

Hello, new reddit refugee here. I've been hearing about the fediverse and mastodon some time now. Heard about lemmy a couple of months ago, but didn't feel the need to make an account at the time. With the dumpsterfire that's going on in reddit I figured it was high time I jumped ship.

I have a question that might sound stupid. Is there a way to get the same functionality as reddit's custom feeds in lemmy? Where you have multiple feeds that are "subscribed" to different sets of communities.

how do I block image hosting domains like i was doing in reddit so I don't see stupid idiot memes i think they are not good

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

To be fair, I'm not sure if it helps to generate "fake" activity. IMHO the migration to lemmy will only work if the content will at least have a minimum amount of quality. Just posting random memes is probably not a good way to start.

Unless of course if the content you want to share is random memes and want others to do the same in your community. Please be nice to your instance owner's costs and link not upload the images.

I’m tired, boss.

This is my first comment. I just made an account on Lemmy.world. If I’m correct, users from other instances have a second @ in their name while native users do not.

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

Ok here's a meme that is unrelated to anything we're discussing but always cracks me up:

I have no idea what I'm doing

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

People know what they're doing?

ppfft, get on my level scrub. :P

Big time introverted lurker on reddit, since here is a much smaller community, I don't feel so intimidated. I'll try to be more active here. Let's do this guys, let's create a great place for all the Reddit Refugees. FUCK u/Spez!
