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’m exaggerating a bit, I think Lemmy still is “too complicated” for a lot of Reddit users, and that will keep Reddit alive. It’ll be difficult for users to stop using reddit when they can’t find a equivalent super obscure community on Lemmy.
I’ll probably end up lurking on reddit for a while still…
I’ve been going through teddit and libreddit for a while now, but i don’t know if they will survive. The next option would be old.reddit.
I need to wrap my head around the searching. For example, I don’t know if a Community “Geometry Dash” exists somewhere in the Lemmy fediverse or if I just cannot find it. On the other hand, I could create one? But if so, where? Would it fit onto lemmy.world? If I understood right, I can create communities on lemmy.world only anyways.
