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
On any given social media site, 90% of people only lurk, 9% of people comment on content, and 1% of people post the actual content.
Wow. I can see how easy it is to assume “the norm” is what is that based on the twitter or reddit feeds when in reality that’s just 1% of people who bothered to speak up. I wonder if there’s a way to measure the same statistics on lemmy?
Yeah sounds about right
