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

Use redirector! Here's one i will copy paste for everyone to use:

Description: reddit bye bye
Example URL:https://www.reddit.com/*
Include pattern:https://www.reddit.com/*
Redirect to:https://lemmy.ml/$

Make sure to replace lemmy.ml with your instance of choice and reddit.com with old reddit if you default to that (I always had "use redesign" turned off in my account settings).

For bonus fun, you can copy redirects with the extension, so you can adjust for your favorite subreddits if you choose.

Or LibRedirect, i didn't even know there were so many alternative front-ends for different services. That's so great and easy to use.
