Hi all,

The lemmy.world instance has reportedly increased to over 1k users. I think it was like at just 200 2-3 days ago. That’s wild!

Anyway, I’ve noticed a few posts/comments by new users, mostly from the reddit exodus, hoping for increased engagement in lemmy communities. We can help this merely by posting and commenting. Lots of users are going to come over to glance and see if this is a good place for them. If they see little to no interaction, then many of them will leave. But if they see that communities are active, they will be more apt to stay and join. So, I suggest we all start posting and commenting. If your post/comment suck, then don’t worry. Users will downvote it lol. We just need to spark conversation. Let’s get to it!

Ok, I’m going to follow my own suggestion and start posting on /c/[email protected]. All neurotypes are welcome, so feel free to stop on by and join as you please 🙂

    Totally agree. It’s a bit disappointing to see posts about interesting things with no comments while scrolling. I’ve only ever made one reddit comment, but this place looks nice and I’m happy to add to the discussion here.

      Based on this comment alone, you’ve already caught up to your reddit commenting engagement! Congrats lol

      I also was a lurker on reddit, rarely commenting. However it seems like your interactions are more welcome here.

        Commenting almost felt pointless on some the busier subreddits because it would just disappear in the noise. This feels a lot more engaging so far.
