Do your part, try not to lurk! (lemmy.ml)

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 will do my part!

I used to lurk a lot of subreddits but I guess that will be no longer. RIP Reddit. Long live Lemmy!

Yeah, I will try my best.

Are there (already) apps for Lemmy?

[–] Debs@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah. On Android there is Jerboa. Pretty bare bones but seems to get the job done. Hopefully it will be updated and flushed out.

Jeroba is alright if you don't ming the white flash when you click on things. Reminds me of sync.

I'mma count the days until I get a Genshin community to join. Hopefully we get the Genshin leaks one, it has the least cringe.

Hey people of the internet. So if I’m going to not lurk, and if I have a really weird sense of humour and am downright unfunny to most of my friends, where is my community here?

I was a Redditor for years and rarely posted anything and only sometimes commented. Predominantly a lurker but I have been doing my best to comment here the last few days, more than I have in the last 6 months on Reddit and feel less judged for comments. Reminds me of the early days of Reddit when things were simpler. Ah… very much a Pepperidge Farm remembers moment.

Same problem Mastodon had, the content consumers joined, but the content creators didn't, so there was nothing on the platform to engage with.

And let's be real, Lemmy is going to face the same fate when inevitably the Reddit protest ends in a couple days and everyone goes back to Reddit. Reddit is going to survive.
