Do your part, try not to lurk!

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

Granny always used to say if you have nothing clever to say it's better to stay silent

Well Granny never had participated in building up the community for a burgeoning federated social media network (I assume at least, I don't really know your grandma..)

Well that comment was my way of speaking up, I didn't want to just say hi
