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

Well, I feel like you're talking directly to me so...here I am!

Aye, captain o7! I've pretty much always lurked online, something about making posts that will possibly be on the internet forever scares me. Despite my anxiety, I've posted some art on my Kbin account, might upload some cat pics soon too.

Already been posting and commenting more than I ever did in countless years on Reddit!

I think on Reddit there was so many voices I hardly felt it was worth posting or commenting. Someone else would have already posted my thoughts and done it much more eloquently than I would have.

Here every little act of engagement helps, so I’m just jumping right in to posting & commenting without second guessing myself.

I'll try my best not to be such a lurker. A fresh start on here might be what I need to get me out of my comfort zone.

I'm a little confused on how to find more communities to join. I'm on the feddit.nl instance, and I know I can subscribe to communities on any instance, but there isn't really a search button or anything like that, at least not on the Jerboa app. Is there, like, a user guide on how this shit works?

Is there any Android app that looks exactly like the website? I absolutely love the UI of the website but I prefer apps.

Jerboa is the only one so far, and I'm enjoying it. I wish there were more instance options available for signing in, but I'm sure that will come in due time.

If i understand you correctly: you are not limited to the small instance dropdown list in Jerboa, you can just type your own instance name in there to log in to it. That's what I did at least. If you mean more instances in general should be available in Lemmy: agree :)

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.
