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
Cool, I didn’t know we could embed images in posts and they’d show up inline. I wonder how long that will last, haha.
good to know!
I’ll post my puppy everyone likes puppies.
I don’t often have anything to add, but here is my buddy.
unlurks
that’s not a puppy, he’s too big
I like your puppy.
Me too!
Here’s my kitty cat Kira
This is me not lurking
Watch me engage with someone
Watch me watch you engage with someone
This is all terribly engaging!
This is your friendly neighborhood deviant trying not to lurk
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!
FUCK u/Spez!
Hey now, /u/spez is a hero - without him, Lemmy would never have taken off like it has lol
Hey now, I lurked on Reddit for years and it grew to be a huge success. I’m ready to repeat this bold strategy!
Don’t tell me what to do, I’ll engage when I’m ready >:(
hol up
Alright… this marks the end of my lurking lifestyle then, I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
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?
Yarp.
I got a reply!
This is kinda exciting ngl

Using the jeroboa app rn and it’s fairly intuitive.
test comment please ignore
Definitely. Everyone on Lemmy at this time seems very reasonable as well and I am finding that the discussion is typically of a much higher quality than on Reddit, so for those who don’t usually engage, try it, it’s definitely worth a shot here.
Reddit conversations have always been either “Google en passant” or something worthwhile, or the third one where it’s just an agreement. Can’t say I am not guilty of doing all of them.
I lurk most of the time because most of the time i have nothing to say
