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

If you just quit reddit because they dropped support for same mobile application there is a lot you should learn. Learn what free software is https://www.fsf.org/about/what-is-free-software learn about Aaron Swartz.

I don't understand. I love free software more than the average person, but I choose the communities I belong to based on more things than the license of the underlying technology. What else do I need to learn?
