I normally lurk, but I feel more comfortable posting here than on Reddit for some reason. On reddit I would mostly just upvote or downvote posts and move on.

This kind of feels like the way reddit did more than a decade ago. It's not nearly as busy as when I joined reddit in 2011, but the comments feel more approachable, more engaging, more human.

You're not the boss of me. Lurking has been a tried and true past time of link aggregators since time immemorial. If this community can't function without lurkers, it's DOA.

I'm not much of a content creator... But I love following contents creators... Am I useful?

One un-ironic way to have a boom in content and users is expanding the amount of porn on the fediverse. That had a massive contribution to tumblr and reddit

No posts yet, but I think I've already commented more here in a few days than my last 5 years on Reddit.

I'm not a particularly entertaining or creative person outside of my music (which I don't think anyone would care about), but I do like to post and interact with text posts like AITA/NoStupidQuestions/ChangeMyView/etc, so I look forward to taking part there.

I made two communities, they are niche for sure, but I'm doing my part lol

[โ€“] InfiniteSpaces@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ive been doing just that, decided to go in at the deep end and make my own Digital Art community, its fun watching it grow, its already coming up on 100 subscribers, and i plan on openeing up submissions at around 200 subs since then people will have a decent size community to see the posts.

It seems the world is indeed what we make of it. Join us!

Fine. But only long until it gains adoption. Then it's back to the shadows.

Finally found an instance that could handle the traffic.

I've been a lurker on reddit for the most part and it seems easier to talk on Lemmy. I guess because it's a smaller community, or because your instance feels a little more private.

Well i had an account just to lurk on reddit, but like anything else in life things eventually come to an end. I don't know what kind of content can be easily imported here. Years ago, i would post about a variety of things, but recently the content that i see is much less varied than it was, so posting has become less interesting. Guess searching stuff on google earth is just as fun as it was than instead. It's interesting to see all this activity without gpt-fied comments tho

Just did my part by posting my pup in the cute cats and dogs thing.

[โ€“] normalincafes@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Iโ€™ve been participating a lot more here because it feels like my contributions have more impact than they did on Reddit.

I've been lurking on Reddit for years now but now that I've switched to Lemmy, I'll probably participate in discussions more. Plus, the vibe is so much more positive and welcoming here than on Reddit!

Good practice; See a post that might fit a theme sutiable for somewhere else? Cross post it to a place that it suits. You can go to the community and search for a place like "Facepalm" and crosspost it there.

I have been trying to raise interest for other communities Mildly Infuriating has hit 2.81K members which is staggering, I'm honestly so happy to see it but we still have a way to go. I have every desire to spread the people of the community around as it's a win for Lemmy and a spite to Reddit. It's in our interest for the fediverse to explode and grow with content.

It's why I'm also advocating for communities to partner with each other. You can place links to other communities that may have a similar theming that other people might like. It would be a great way to offer up more content, and give that much needed love to communities starting and growing! <3

I'm working on it, but I'm trying to refrain from making dozens of posts on a community I created. However, I'd have no problems doing so.

I have a broad question. Forgive me if it's dumb as I am not super technically savvy.

Is there a way to put a massive set of common image memes into a pool we can pick from and just have something point to that image? I keep reading that storage space is quickly going to be an issue for instances, and that seems like a good way to reduce some data.
