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

Was lurking on Reddit for 10 years, made just 9 comments that whole time; when there's so much noise you don't feel you have much to add to the conversation. But us lurkers have a chance to be heard in a growing community and help shape it in some way, gotta get out of my comfort zone I guess.
