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

I'm a little confused on how to find more communities to join. I'm on the feddit.nl instance, and I know I can subscribe to communities on any instance, but there isn't really a search button or anything like that, at least not on the Jerboa app. Is there, like, a user guide on how this shit works?

It's a little jank. There is https://browse.feddit.de/ to help you find communities though!

Yes IIRC searching and subscribing to communities via jerboa is not yet implemented, I've created a feature requests for that.

Searching and subscribing sort of work via jerboa. It seems to work only for communities that your instance knows about though. If I search for a community on the website, then in jerboa it will show up.
