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 feel that’s a lot of us. I do have hobbies and interests such as mechanical keyboards, various games, technology, etc. that Is like to find communities for, but I also used Reddit heavily for work-related research (I’m an IT systems administrator) and there were some fantastic technical communities on Reddit. Hoping to see those spring up here as well.

    Also, this is my first comment reply, and unless I’m missing something, it’s wildly inconvenient in the Jerboa app to respond to comments since you can’t just tap the reply in your inbox to go to the response to your comment. Hopefully that gets fixed/added!

      Yeah, I am logging into my computer just to reply to your comment. That would be amazing, because there are a lot of niche topics and discussions that I am always interested in. I am learning about Linux servers, docker and python and Reddit has been a great resource. Hope to see those here too :D
