If you want Lemmy to succeed, stop lurking and contribute with some content:

  • Take inspiration from your saved Reddit posts
  • Share a photo you took with your phone
  • /c/microthoughts and /c/showerthoughts for random thoughts and observations
  • Share interesting quotes, links, articles, videos, etc. that you saved (E.g: Youtube liked videos)

What else do you suggest?

I was never much of a posting or comment person on Reddit, but I am trying for Lemmy. I refuse to go back to Reddit and I hope I can contribute to these communities. Let's do it folks!

[-] Tired8281@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That's ok. I've shitposted hours a day for years. Reddit was a tapestry, and we're slowly removing the best threads from Reddit's tapestry and reweaving them here.

Some more ideas:

  • Cross-post content from Lemmy to Reddit: to get people from Reddit to Lemmy
  • Cross-post content from Reddit to Lemmy: to get content in Lemmy
  • /c/asklemmy is an easy way to add content. Answer a question or ask one.
  • You can bring moderators from Reddit by handing them the sublemmies you created (in case you're not interested in moderating)

Your right right I was on reddit for eight years, and never commented once. This seems like a good reason to start.

Participate in discussions if you don't feel yet like posting new stuff, even small comments help building up a community.

[-] BombOmOm@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Agreed. One of the biggest value-adds for forums is the back and forths that bring in more ideas and information than just what was in the posted link.

What subs would we post photos on?

[-] ElectroVagrant@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Looks like there's Photography@lemmy.ml, Photography@lemmy.world, TravelPhotography@lemmy.world, and Photos@lemmy.world.

This probably isn't exhaustive, but it's a start!

[-] Wander@yiffit.net 1 points 1 year ago

Posting comments is also helpful.

[-] LeHorror@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Just started on Lemmy. I love how new things pop up but is there a way to not have things show up but not necessarily resort to blocking the community. Star Wars memes for my example.

[-] Falmarri@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This will be fixed in the 0.18 release

[-] InisSieferI@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Should we just start reposting stuff from Reddit, too? Or is that frowned upon?

[-] Umpquastrangler@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

We're gonna need NSFW content to make this baby successful.
