@GatoB I'm trying to make the best effort I can, I started a London community at feddit.uk/c/london and been making content for it and cross posting whatever I come across that could work there. So far I gotten around roughly 50 subscribers and some engagement in my posts. I'm reaching out for engagement so if you want to join in and make this something I'd really appreciate it.

... Or if you want to lurk I'm good with that too, I'd appreciate the eyes more then anything at this point.

You can't tell me what to do! (Wait...)

Would it be a good idea to cross post large amounts of old Reddit content?

Bring the content over, delete the reddit post, repost to reddit with the fediverse link

It will come naturally after api change is done. Yesterday we had a chance to testdrive new user influx before the bigger wave after 3rd party apps are cut. Let's see how many users are going to endure reddit's native app.

But. . . my content is terrible. . . It's like stale chips. You'll eat them if you have to but you won't enjoy it.

I'm just chilling and getting comfy. then I'll start contributing after I feel out the vibe here.

Well see it this way , when more people join the more is attractive to companies and they will definitely figure how to ruined it. The best example is email , it was federated but if you run your email server they dont like you.

This comment is my first contribution to the platform. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing yet, but I'll figure it out.

My worry is that I only started a year or so ago on that other platform, and most of my contributions are comments and some photos when I can get my garbage podunk internet to let me upload the latest smoked meat or garden haul. I don't think I'm a "laying the groundwork" type of user, honestly. If there are any guides or walkthrough on navigating instances and whatnot, I'm all eyes.

I already reeeeeally miss a couple wonderful communities. But I want the best versions of them here, if at all. I'd love to help expand this place.

I guess there could be worse first comments for an account.

ETA: spelling is hard.

Does avidly upvoting comments count?

I'll post when I have something worthwhile to post. Lemmy should go for quality over volume.

I'll probably get around to making some of the communities that I miss. I don't know that I have time to moderate, so it's still up in the air.
