I’m really hoping the Lemmy community reaches its potential! But to achieve that, I realize it’s important to contribute to the content. As a chronic Reddit lurker, I’m going to do my best to comment and post to help this platform grow. It’s hard to break the habit of being a creepy voyeur after 10 years. Wish me luck!

Welcome the circus. I read an interesting post that said Reddit has the bulk of the users for this type of social media, but the users who add value and post etc. are the ones you need. The users Lemmy needs to attract are not the crowd that lurks. It’s the crowd that posts and adds value. That is a much smaller group of users.

Reddit user of 10 years here, last day of being able to use Boost over there, so just starting to figure this place out!

I came from boost too. It's going to suck when I Google something that leads to Reddit and I can't "open in app" into boost.

I lurked instead of commenting on Reddit because there was always that fear that the slightest poor word choice could result in the hounds being released. Secondary to that is often not having anything unique to add to a conversation. I have been trying to contribute more here.
