It really is in a strange place! I think the stat is 95% of people are lurkers. Which about lines up with our userbase too. We’re slightly (and i mean very slightly - about half a percent) more active than the big instances, which is why I try to encourage people to interact wherever they can.

Upvotes are great, then you know people are seeing the content, but comments and other users posting absolutely help to build a community.

I know that Mastodon is part of the fediverse but is it worth reposting content from my communities to Mastodon? As far as I understand Mastodon, people tend to follow hashtags rather than communities so would posting content with links to Lemmy communities be worthwhile?

  I’ve seen people are starting to add hashtags to posts that link to the mastadon trending pages, so by all means go for it. I’ve not used mastadon (have never used twitter or similar personally) so not sure how it works when linking to lemmy, but I imagine if they’re federated with us then they’ll be able to follow those posts via mastadon.

    I have no idea how it works either. I can see Lemmy communities which shows the community sidebar but no posts are visible from Mastodon.
    
    If someone could help out with getting posts to show on mastodon it could go a long way with helping with community engagement here.
