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

      My screentime for reddit was like, 30 hours a week before this week.

      I probably should’ve quit link aggregation sites altogether. Would’ve been more healthy. It’s like a part time job lmao.

        They’ve truly fucked up by messing with the few users like you that basically hold the site together. Welcome, and remember to spend time doing healthy activities, will you? ;)

        Wow. You just made me check and I was on reddit for 14 hours a week. Hopefully the fediverse won’t be as addictive (so far is not looking good)

        Goodbye, Reddit addiction!

        Hello, Lemmy addiction.

        Here before low-effort Reddit content floods the Fediverse. 🍻

        I don’t use Screen Time for this exact reason. I don’t wanna know how much I used Reddit, and I don’t wanna know how much time I’ll spend on Lemmy.
