I have , amazingly I decided to start two communities, something I have never done before despite the fact I had a 12 year badge and thousands of karma at the other place.
I tried to create a community twice now, but it just sat there spinning after I hit "Create." I'm trying to contribute, dammit.
Then post some interesting content. Posts like this aren't helpful
Does stealing memes from discord servers and posting them here count? Asking for a friend....
Only if they're good
Everything I see on Discord that I think is funny or interesting goes to lemmy. I'm a discord repost bot.
The content must flow
Well they are encouraging to a degree but please next one of "these" maybe next week? Meta complaints are really drag if they're repeated over and over again.
I feel like we all just went through a breakup and all we can do is talk about our ex. We know it's stupid, and we found someone else. But for right now, we are rebounding hard on Lemmy.
Seriously, couldn't have said if better myself.
Eh, let people get it out of their system. It's gonna be that way for the next month or so anyway since there will be a new influx of users in July when the 3PAs stop working.
This is why I posted, I really think we need to concentrate on unique content now so when the next influx comes we not all naval gazing
But I'm a boring lurker
Just type out whatever thoughts you have, nobody's judging!
Everyone's judging! I'm pretty sure that's how the platform is designed.
But I get what you're saying. I'm just adding my little joke to grow the content library.
Shameless self promotion:
I've made Lemmy Scare You! https://lemmy.world/c/lemmyscareyou as an alternative to Nosleep, and Now Lemmy Explain https://lemmy.world/c/nowlemmyexplain as an alternative to ELI5. Hopefully I can make them better than the old places, and I would love if you could start contributing contents there.
Other shameless self promotion: Go watch my movies.
Iβm tired of the Reddit and fed drama. Ready to move on.
Yeah, totally agree with this post, grew tired of Reddit Circle Jerk. Its like when someone cant move on with their past, so they bring it to every conversation, how their ex (Reddit) used to be, and found a new lover (Lemmy/Kbin) and how things work great with this new relationship
Let's just forget about Reddit. Reddit can do whatever it want's, the user that still on Reddit can also do whatever they want. Lets just focus on growing this new communities, this Fediverse, and do what we can do to make it thrive, and how to make it better for new user, and the less tech savy one
Sure, but "the past" as you refer to it was not even a week ago, and the situation is still actively unfolding.
Communities are growing, OC is being posted, and the lemmyverse is starting to get its legs underneath it. If you look past the reddit related posts you will see this happening all around you.
However most of us haven't even been here a week, communities aren't built overnight. Reddit has 15 years of people creating content and building out subreddits.
Yes who is gonna post the first AskMen about;
"What is the sexiest sex you ever sexed?"
Edit;
For people interested in Fragrances, I did my part and gonna start to post more often;

Suggestions are welcome!
We are making content.....we're just also talking about reddit sometimes. Sort by All.
Posts like this are just adding to the reddit circle jerk, you know. Don't post shit like this, just post the content you're talking about.
"Can you guys just start posting the content I like, please?"
I don't like all the reddit posts either but sheesh
OP: complains about reddit circle jerk posts by creating a reddit circle jerk post
I know but my little brain could not work out a way to highlight the issue any other way
You know the rule, gotta go meta before you can be betta.
I've been trying to post content on all niche subreddits I used to lurk in. I basically get the non-reddit links and useful resources and start sharing them here.
As long as I can jerk I don't care about the shape. Circle, square, rhombus, you name it, I'm in.
I think in terms of link aggregation, there is going to be a fair amount of duplication necessary to get a critical mass of links/content here, that people can interact with. After all, 1% post, 9% comment, 90% lurk.
I'm not suggesting we automate it, but in order to kickstart some communities I'm certainly going to be copying links from some good subs on reddit (if they're open) over here. After all they're just links to other articles/media/etc, they're not exclusive to reddit.
It would be good if everyone who comes over here and subscribes to some communities sees that there are posts going on there. It only takes a couple or a few active people to make a buzz.
If you want to post about your poor performance in a 3 year old Switch game you are welcome to join my community crappyanimalcrossing.
This might be a good opportunity for You to join new promising communities
I just posted a hot take about solar power on my sublemmy, how about you comment?
https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/127188
Sorry if that link doesnβt let you comment but I havenβt figured out how to generate a universal link without creating a crosspost
@phil299 You realize that the only way through this is to talk about it right? Itβs like breaking up with someone you are with for years then they just f up and try to forgive them but itβs too late
I was always a commenter and a voter, not a poster. But Iβve decided Iβm gonna to make an effort to post in communities that I have interests in. Gardening, food interests, photography, hiking, current events, travel, video games, finance/investing, etc. Itβs not something Iβm used to doing. And itβs gonna take some effort at first, but Iβd rather start a new habit here than go back to that other place.
All my yes! We have loved, we have lost, we have mourned, it's time to move on. Trying to rebuild a broken window in the way it was before is pointless, but we can pick up the pieces, dust them off, and build something new together!
I'm with you. I've been posting Q/A thread in /c/chat and a few memes as I come across them. I've also been participating in some pretty interesting threads around here
Fuck Steve Huffman
I think it's a combination of it being a fresh breakup, and also being something you would normally see on the front page anyways, because it's a huge event worthy of being there.
We can do both :) .
Yea... see... the problem is that I never create content, i just browse...
