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

Hi, I'm here! Signed up on an instance a few days ago with all this BS going on at Reddit, and I just read the "AMA" with spez. Absolutely ridiculous. I would love to see Lemmy take off. Just trying to get the hang of it at the moment, and I hope an iPhone app comes.

I am glad u/iamthatis saved the recordings because u/spez is a liar. I live in a one-party consent state myself, so I know what u/iamthatis did was legal.

Yes! We want to read what you have to say!

Why hello I am literally just making this comment so more people see the post. My favourite thing about Fedi is how engagement works entirely different from proprietary social media. People make the Fediverse work, people being people make it such a lovely place!!

It's nice to be part of a smaller community again! Hopefully we see more people make the switch

[–] davids_laughter@beehaw.org 7 points 2 years ago

Agreed. It's pretty refreshing that this community is smaller honestly. Kinda makes me wanna engage more.

Trying my best! I have an account on lemmy.ml but with the increase in traffic I’m barely able to use it! Moving to this one which has already helped. Anyone reading this feel free to send a message and say hi!

Huh. So that's how you comment!

[–] Tununias@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (7 children)

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.

Although I’m almost exclusively 100% a lurker I will try my best to make posts and post comments and stuff! Hope more folks from Reddit will join us and help make Lemmy a formidable competitor to Reddit.

I'm not lurking, I'm writing this comment.

[–] Apex@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

Greetings! It looks like kbin.social opened up registration again, so here I am!

Just delete all of my posts and a 12-year old reddit account. So long Reddit...

I'm trying to create a community, but the 'create' button just turns into a spinning circle, and nothing happens. I've left that tab open for more than an hour.

So insteat, here's my first comment.

Question: If the equivalent Reddit subreddit doesn't exist that we use, should we create it? Or wait for the moderators from Reddit to create it?
