It is entirely up to you; every set of eyes that reads this.
Every post, every community you participate within, every upvote, every positive interaction is helping this place grow. All we need to do is make a place people want to visit; add value to their and our own lives.
Yesterday I started Word of the Day [email protected]
I moderate [email protected] and a couple of others that are not active. I'm at 179 posts and 1485+1 comments. I'm here a few times at least on most days.
I try and post in as many other communities as I can and be as positive an influence as I can manage.
The best thing you can do is upvote and participate in absolutely every little niche you can possibly participate in. I'm a jack of all trades master of none, but I'll even go outside of my comfort zone to try and support everything I can. I don't just take from this place, I want to build it, to grow with it, to be a part of it. I am the fediverse. You are the fediverse. It is what you make of it.
I posted this when there were less than 5k active users on Lemmy and .world was a couple of weeks old: https://lemmy.world/post/36032
That post is still just as true today.
Thank you
Yes Iโll stay active in as many places as I can on here especially when I know a topic. Even better now Iโve worked out a way to interact with people on Lemmy through Mastodon
