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!
Oo oo I Wana try.
-edit- don’t use big pictures.

After 14 years on reddit I’m tired of watching it die, the death of Apollo is what pushed me over the edge, I loved Apollo. I’ve been browsing in here for the past few days. I like it. Trying to get used to it. Fuck reddit and u/spez all of the situation was trash. Thank you all for recommending this site!! I’m excited to be apart of it!
Ditto for RIF on Android dying. Lemmy will take some getting used to, but I refuse to support reddit for killing my user experience.
damn happy to have you here!
I’ve been looking for a viable alternative for years but nothing has ever stuck. Lemmy seems like it’s got enough community already that there should be some staying power.
Bringing spez back on as CEO was one of the worst decisions Reddit has made. kn0thing leaving was the last cliff too before the whole thing really went downhill.
Fuck spez for killing Apollo.
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
Here’s my kitty cat Kira
I like your puppy.
Me too!
This is me not lurking
Watch me engage with someone
Watch me watch you engage with someone
This is all terribly engaging!
Oh hey how’s agoin
This is your friendly neighborhood deviant trying not to lurk
Engaging…
Long time no see, Lemmy. I hope Reddit ending is for the best, and I hope all my precious communities migrate to open source software.
I couldnt say it better. Social media must be controlled by the people using it. There is no other option except bad products promoting dangerous ideas to keep people rich.
but i don’t have anything to say
other than fuck spez of course
'tis enough, friend!
Rip reddit :(
i suppose i will not lurk
I feel you, samta, I feel you
Alright sir, I shall upvote and comment whenever I feel I have something useful to add!
It’s just basic Lemmyquette.
perfect!

I joined your micromobility community from lemmy.ml - it should now appear in searches from this instance.
I already blocked access to reddit on my network, so lurking is not an option for me ;)

This is the way.
you know da wae!
I deleted Boost for Reddit. That’s about the only way I liked it. Now all I need is Boost for Lemmy.
Boost for Lemmy would be awesome, here’s hoping!
Check out Jerboa for lemmy. It hits a lot of the features the I loved about Boost. The app is fairly early alpha but if it keeps going for a while it could be a drop in replacement.
Funny you should say! Jerboa for Lemmy is what I’m using now. It leaves some to be desired but I’m hoping the influx of users helps it’s development and/or developers like Boost decide to adapt to Lemmy.
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
Don’t tell me what to do…
Ah shit.
Ok, you win this round.
Okay, hello ♥️
Hi there
Just deleted all of my posts and a 12-year old reddit account. So long Reddit…
Same here. 14 years gone. :)
Now we are here and moving forward. Not to anyone reading be sure to check out other instances too!
Bluto: “Christ. Seven years of college down the drain. Might as well join the fucking Peace Corps.”
Same here! I’m excited to see how this community will grow
F*ck /u/spez

But…but…I like lurking.
I feel that.
I’ve done more commenting in this post today than I have on Reddit all year
I got woken up after 1 year of inactivity/lurking.
