    Best way to have active accounts is to avoid lurking. I’ve found myself falling into the trap where I act like I’m on reddit or YouTube and I don’t want to give them free user engagement. The exact opposite of Lemmy.

    So yeah. Don’t lurk. Lurking bad.

      What if I just upvote or downvote posts and comments?

        In my opinion, people don’t mind hearing what you have to say. I wouldn’t call an upvote content. So I think comments and posts, if you are feeling daring on any given day, make for a better experience and let’s people be more social.

        Basically, if everyone says something and interacts, this place will feel a lot more lively.
