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
Trying hard! What I’d need is a browser extension (Firefox) that just sends me to the fediverse as soon as I type “old.reddit.com” into the address bar to kill some time. Old habits die hard.
You can do that with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/redirector/
Nice! Thanks everyone. I’ll be trying the redirector addon the next few days. Noticed something cool. On this post we’ve got interaction from at least 4 different federated lemmys
I quite like this new world.
