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 really like kbin.social, but it’s hard for me to figure out how to start a new Threaded post. I can add a new “article” or “link”, but what about just a text post?
Also I am not sure how my home feed is populated - I can subscribe to federated stuff and local stuff, but most of what I’m seeing is not from anything I’ve subscribed to. Is it more like r/popular?
I believe the button at the top that looks like a bulleted list allows you to select from all, subscribed, moderated, and favorited!
