Meta (lemm.ee)

I lurked instead of commenting on Reddit because there was always that fear that the slightest poor word choice could result in the hounds being released. Secondary to that is often not having anything unique to add to a conversation. I have been trying to contribute more here.

Welcome the circus. I read an interesting post that said Reddit has the bulk of the users for this type of social media, but the users who add value and post etc. are the ones you need. The users Lemmy needs to attract are not the crowd that lurks. It’s the crowd that posts and adds value. That is a much smaller group of users.

Here's something to consider: many of us were using reddit for several years. That's years of exploring, building, and bonding with communities. So when you come to Lemmy, don't expect that it will be a 100% replacement immediately. It takes time. Stick with it. Explore and post in different communities. Grow your usage gradually. You cannot reasonably expect to find everything you are looking for right away.

I mostly just enjoy reading varied opinions of others rather than having much to say, but I'll try to start responding more!

Reddit user of 10 years here, last day of being able to use Boost over there, so just starting to figure this place out!

Another lurker refugee from ~~redacted~~. I hope I can help a community grow.

I'm commenting.... Is that enough?

This is actually more usable than I expected

I'll join you. I was a 95% lurker on Reddit. Hopefully I can do more here. I also want more people to know how much of an asshole Spez is.

Just signed up. Fingers crossed.

Lemmy is life now. Lemmy is home. Lemmy lurk here please. 🙂

Dyslexic lurkers of the world untie!

I had a 16 year old Reddit account and maybe commented 10 times. I’m here to contribute!

I lurk. I comment. I Lemmy.

100% the same. I've been trying to post or comment at least once a day to make the daily active users number go up.

Either way I've already posted more on here than on Reddit, so that was an easy win for me.

I'm still a little confused about how this place works, but im getting the hang of it.

I never comment and it's weird coming from reddit, but I really do hope this takes off. I love the fundamental ideas the federated universe or whatever operates on.

Hello, kind sers! I am here as a total noob, making my second comment. I am such a lemming (is this what we call ourselves?), hurr durr! Normally, i am a lurker who sometimes comments. But you're right, we need to throw coal on the gas, so it burns for longer and heats up the joint. I'm not particularly funny or insightful to create original content. That being said, where can i post random funny stuff i get from friends and/or have saved in my phone?

I've been more active on Lemmy the last fortnight than Reddit in months, Reddit's swarm of Facebook users had already killed the quality of the platform.

Does this count as a post?

First post, thanks for having me 😀

Which iOS clients do you all use?

G'luck!

Do it, don't be shy.

If you want a community with training wheels and is open to general discussions, come say hi. Its a place where you can work past the fear of being downvoted or insulted. You are welcome here. 😀

Same here man. I’ve always lurked but since Apollo no longer works for Reddit here I am, hoping this community takes off?

This platform has a surprising potential, I hope more reddit users find this to increase the user base and content

Downvote?

Is there a android app I could use?

Same boat. Good luck!

So what are the best "subreddits" so far on Lemmy?

Good luck!

I'm doing my part!

The communities I'm part of, are still not part of lemmy/kbin. I've decided to be a lurker via old.reddit and be an active contributor in Lemmy.

I agree, and I want to post things, but I've recently become a parent of twins, and they dominate my life. The only thing I have to post is pics of my kids. That's not good content. This isn't Facebook, Nobody here wants that.
