Hi all,

The lemmy.world instance has reportedly increased to over 1k users. I think it was like at just 200 2-3 days ago. That’s wild!

Anyway, I’ve noticed a few posts/comments by new users, mostly from the reddit exodus, hoping for increased engagement in lemmy communities. We can help this merely by posting and commenting. Lots of users are going to come over to glance and see if this is a good place for them. If they see little to no interaction, then many of them will leave. But if they see that communities are active, they will be more apt to stay and join. So, I suggest we all start posting and commenting. If your post/comment suck, then don’t worry. Users will downvote it lol. We just need to spark conversation. Let’s get to it!

Ok, I’m going to follow my own suggestion and start posting on /c/autism@lemmy.world. All neurotypes are welcome, so feel free to stop on by and join as you please 🙂

    Excited to join in on this reddit exodus, I was used to lurking on reddit but looking forward to actually conversing with a smaller community here! Still getting my head around the fediverse and made an account on Kbin

      I can’t quite figure out how to post a top level comment but would be great to have this take off with all the shit that Reddits pulling.

      Personally I’m dying to see a cities Skylines sub take off

        Look like you are on kbin as well, the top level comment is actually on the bottom of the page. Weird UI choice, hopefully it can be brought to the top

          Ah so it is, odd choice but I can understand why they’d do that initially. Thanks Bread :)

          kbin as well; I’m very new here but have been waiting for the next big site for years, I think a lot of us have.

        I love watching ImKibitz content on cities skylines!

        And I’m figuring out how to get notified on comment replies…
