I go through a cycle for this. I leave Reddit because I hate it. And then I go here and well it's quite obvious it's a certain type of people who are willing to jump through hoops and use the fediverse. I find most of the opinions here to be a little bit too extreme for my taste. I just want to discuss football (soccer) and tech...
But I agree with you. It only feels empty because we all decide to not hit "post".
I'm exactly the same, here's hoping we'll pave the way for many more like us, hey?
Reddit was not much different in the beginning. It was kinda of weird and had a super Linux tech nerd culture with a circle jerky political culture. There was kind of a nice time between that and now, even though it was still niche. Hopefully we can see something like that again but without all the private interest ruining it in the end. But yeah, I’m with you.
Couldn't agree more.
I think one that can be done is to create a pinned FAQ post in Reddit on the fediverse sub Reddit. I have seen so many questions popping up lately with a lot of potential users that seem confused.
If I had a Reddit account, I would absolutely try doing that. Unfortunately, I think I'm gonna have to hope someone does it for me.
I am trying to. I just found about lemmy today.
Can someone recommend me some other stuff?
Recommend Lemmy communities, or other Fediverse alternatives (like Mastodon as a replacement for Twitter, the same way Lemmy replaces Reddit)?
yes and I don't mind you can mention other Fediverse alternatives
I run a few history communities myself
!historyartifacts@lemmy.world to share or admire pieces of the past - swords, armor, jewelry, or pieces of everyday life
!historyporn@lemmy.world for photographs of the past (or film)
!historyillustrations@lemmy.world for drawings and the sort of the past
!historyruins@lemmy.world for photos of old ruins, if you enjoy seeing such things
And a few history meme communities with them
!historymemes@lemmy.world for memes about history of all sorts, no restrictions!
!roughromanmemes@lemmy.world for memes about the GLORIOUS ROMAN EMPIRE
!shermanposting@lemmy.world for posts about the US Civil War and how slaver scum deserved their defeat
More generally, there's:
!adhd@lemmy.dbzer0.com for memes about ADHD and related disorders. A lot of comorbidity there.
!animearmor@lemm.ee for anime pics of cool weapons and armor
!askhistorians@lemmy.world if you have any questions on random bits of history you've been wondering about
!baldurs_gate_3@lemmy.world for the ever-popular video game Baldur's Gate 3
!dogs@lemmy.world for pics of your own dogs or random dogs you've found online. Precious creatures!
!cat@lemmy.world for the same, but for cats
!forgottenweapons@lemmy.world if you like old or obscure firearms
!lotrmemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com for Lord of the Rings memes
!lemmybewholesome@lemmy.world if you want some wholesome posts to take your mind off things or brighten your day.
!militarymoe@ani.social if you like anime girls in uniform

!memes@lemmy.world or !memes@sopuli.xyz for memes in general (not much difference between the communities, just whichever you prefer - or both)
!grimdank@lemmy.world for Warhammer/40K memes or memes about similar tabletop games
!196@lemmy.world for random posts that don't go anywhere else. Just put 'rule' in the title - as the 'rule' is that you must post before you leave!
Nice list
On one hand yeah! But on the other, I'm not fully sure we want the Reddit chain of comments that add nothing to the conversation?
You aren't entirely wrong, but I feel it could help build an appearance of high activity, which would help attract people. Also; many people wish to contribute but stifle the words before they can come out of their mouth, and I'm hoping a post like this could be the push they needed.
It's a fair call, I think I'll push send more often from now on!
Honestly half the reason I don't post these days is more not wanting to feed LLMs/dox myself further, but that's a whole other can of worms
100%! Been doing it for a year.
Also, I find a nice way to fill my feed is to liberally subscribe to communities on Lemmy. I'm currently subscribed to 133. I set my feed to Subscribed+Scaled and that works incredibly well to show me what I care about. Then when I get bored, I flip to All+TopDay to get what I missed that day.
Just wanted to pop in and say, I am so glad so many of you are taking this to heart! I am sitting here with a genuine smile on my face, which for reference NEVER happens. Thank you everyone!
Make a nice poster that encourages people to not just lurk, or dig one up if there's an old post. Post it weekly in !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world
I got you rosahaj! I'll try to be better this year!
glad to hear it Oofnik!
