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 🙂

Awesome, it’s been forever since I’ve seen an online community that isn’t already established so it’s cool to participate in one that still growing. I’m using mobile so there are some bugs and I’m having trouble uploading an avatar, it lets me select the picture but it doesn’t look like it actually uploads it.
Me too! I’m excited to help the formative process so that it can turn into something fruitful.
I’m predicting that the app will probably be a bit buggy until this site gets the momentum it needs to receive more attention. Maybe one of the app developers that dropped reddit will get on it. Meanwhile, the app is good enough to interact. If I need to make any major changes, I can still use a desktop.
