I mostly lurk or comment like this but I’ve found the community to be much better over here. I can’t see myself going back.

I mostly lurk, too, but enjoy being around my fellow Lemmings.

The only decline I have seen as someone who mostly lurks is in conservatives who thought this was the next Voat. After the surge I saw an uptick in all kinds of people, and a lot of them I don't mind seeing leave.

You don't need this lil slice of the internet to be the "next big thing", you just need a place to go to see the stuff you like.

Ya ever since everyone defederated from exploding heads there's definitely less of them. Maybe one day they'll create another instance. I hope they do, maybe a less transphobic conservative instance, just for the variety of people.

Long time lurker here, 99% of the time I go to post a comment I delete it before posting like ah fuck it. I'm trying to engage a bit more now there are more users.
