Here's an idea for my fellow Lemmings, Piefedians and others, about a fun little challenge we could run in the month of September, to encourage a greater variety of posts across our communities with help from people who usually lurk or only occasionally comment. Each person would score themselves on an attempt to make 10 contributions across some defined categories in a month. What do you think?

Support given. Categories?

post one video
post one image
post one question to the fediverse e.g askfeddit
post one article you read
post one comment with an opinion
post one comment saying thank you
make one positive post

Uh... Can't think of anything else. Maybe post 2 videos instead of 1?

Maybe make a comment on a video or post on or linking to another fediverse platform e.g comment on a peertube video or share a peertube video.

So I would just have to return to the way I've been posting before August hehe

I really like this idea and think it's awesome!

[-] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

... Damn, this is a really cool idea.

Can I ask why you didn't use Fediverse instead of threadaverse? I think the idea is great, but it makes me think of Meta.

[-] Zedstrian@sopuli.xyz 11 points 16 hours ago

The Threadiverse is the thread-based subset of the Fediverse (primarily Lemmy, Piefed, and Mbin).

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 16 hours ago

I know, but Meta ruined that name IMO.

The name threadyverse is much older that metas threads.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 6 points 17 hours ago

I use Threadiverse to mean Lemmy Piefed Kbin and similar part of the Fediverse, nothing to do with Meta. I selected this terminology to differentiate it from microblogging platforms like Mastodon, though they are absolutely welcome to participate by posting to Lemmy and Piefed communities. With character limits and other structural design differences I suppose it is just a harder challenge. If you have suggestions for another name to describe topic-based online socializing I'm all ears.

Through the 10th proposed category, I'm hoping to make people aware of that connection to the wider Fediverse with links to Masto, PeerTube etc.

Keep using it, I use it too.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 16 hours ago

I would just use Fediverse since it's your ultimate goal to include them anyway. It would be great if they joined in the challenge in their own way anyway.

i will have upheaval because of moving but will try to do my best for threadtember 🫡 a couple of the suggested categories are things i already do so that takes a little pressure off
