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’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?
So far I haven’t seen any aggressiveness in the communities I’ve been, you should definitely give it a try and post something.
Haven’t seen any of that so far.
