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

Silly question maybe. How do I search for other servers to join when in an app? Is it possible? I’m using memmy for iPhone.

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

I'd like to post things, but are the communities, instances or whatever superagressive if you "Post the wrong thing to the wrong place TM", even by accident or misunderstanding? I stopped contributing to Reddit because of it.

And can the post-box be at the top of the page, before comments instead of at the bottom?

Set up my instance to come here to report that I am not lurking o7

Much of the meme content is in the form of GIF and as fare as I see, Lemmy does not support uploading GIFs. Will this format be supported in the near future?

Oh, that’s interesting, the reply box is all the way down here. I’ll see what I can do here as far as activity goes, I don’t know what fediverse is but it sounds like something worth taking part in.

I really like kbin.social, but it's hard for me to figure out how to start a new Threaded post. I can add a new "article" or "link", but what about just a text post?

Also I am not sure how my home feed is populated - I can subscribe to federated stuff and local stuff, but most of what I'm seeing is not from anything I've subscribed to. Is it more like r/popular?

I took a long break from Lemmy and I returned after the Reddit fiasco. I was active on mk.absturztau.be.

[–] cullvox@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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