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

There is no engagement algorithm; it's us :)

[–] bitsplease@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I don't mean am engagement algorithm, I mean engagement as in content to engage with. No one is going to want to move to lemmy of they come here and it looks like there isn't anything going on

Is there any Android app that looks exactly like the website? I absolutely love the UI of the website but I prefer apps.

Me not lurking

[–] sdg@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

but i don't have anything to say

other than fuck spez of course

I saw Lemmy has already grown a lot over the weekend and I'm all for it getting bigger! To be honest I also feel a lot more motivated to actually post here instead of lurk.

And the community seems super nice so far!

Long time no see, Lemmy. I hope Reddit ending is for the best, and I hope all my precious communities migrate to open source software.

Always a bad sign when one of the top comments is trying to compel users to engage.

[–] BarneyKB@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

This is kinda exciting ngl

[–] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 8 months ago (4 children)

I try but I rarely post. I did seem to kinda revive the !beeandpuppycat@lemm.ee community so that's dope. I hope people keep posting there.

I think I've been more active on Lemmy in the past five days than I had been on reddit for the past 2 years.

Decentralization of social media is extremely enticing to me, and I really want this community to flourish, so I've been trying to make this into an active space.

I lurk most of the time because most of the time i have nothing to say

[–] confusedwiseman@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I couldn’t agree more!

In effort to try to add value to posting, I found a mobile app for iPhone. It’s clearly in beta. I’m not associated with them at all, and I hope they don’t mind me posting the results of my Brave search.

Much of the meme content is in the form of GIF and as fare as I see, Lemmy does not support uploading GIFs. Will this format be supported in the near future?

[–] Senseibull@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

You can hyperlink to them, see my Rick and Morty gif a few comments above, i didnt upload that.

[–] yak@feddit.it 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well, I feel like you're talking directly to me so...here I am!

[–] qprimed@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

right to your very soul.

[–] ethcat@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We also need more mobile clients like this one

I wonder if it wouldn't be wise to try and emulate some of the easier/more participatable subreddits here. Askreddit theads for instance are a big pull (even if they tend to be. well, redditors post on them use your imagination).

[–] bitsplease@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I think there already is an asklemmy on lemmy.ml
