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 just feel like I have nothing interesting to say:(
You don’t have to say something genius. As someone who posts memes. I love it when people tell me that they liked it. It helps to push my content up and the more people comment, the more likely you get nice conversations. But nobody will force you to comment, so no panic 😉
i agree! ;)
I don’t think profiles can generate karma either, which is a bonus imv
I find that to be very interesting, why do you think that?
I see three comments under you. That’s pretty interesting…
As long as you’re not saying anything inflammatory, boring engagement is better than no engagement!
TBH i feel like the majority of the interactions on Reddit were boring reoccurring memes.
I always feel the same way, but hey, even hearing you say that helps me feel seen and I’d say that’s pretty worthwhile for an Internet comment, isn’t it?
That makes me happy to hear, it’s always good to know you aren’t alone.
