Lemmy

I lurk most of the time because most of the time i have nothing to say

Lemmy sprawls thanks to his dislike of Reddit's new rules. This is both a virtue and a problem at the same time. Reading 1,000 "Reddit is about to fall apart" posts or copies of old Reddit posts is quite tedious. Oh yeah, there's also the defederation announcements, it's even more tedious to read that nonsense. Guys, you have not had time to consolidate, and already arranging a rant.

Oh, that’s interesting, the reply box is all the way down here. I’ll see what I can do here as far as activity goes, I don’t know what fediverse is but it sounds like something worth taking part in.

I wonder if it wouldn't be wise to try and emulate some of the easier/more participatable subreddits here. Askreddit theads for instance are a big pull (even if they tend to be. well, redditors post on them use your imagination).

Huzzah!

I have been way more active here than i have been on other platforms. I have what like 3 comments now? So that's not saying much ha.

Not me!

Hi people!

Ehm.. OK? Gosh, this is hard.

I've just created !board_games@lemmy.ca and !tabletop_rpgs@lemmy.ca, does that count? :P

This is the way.

Same problem Mastodon had, the content consumers joined, but the content creators didn't, so there was nothing on the platform to engage with.

And let's be real, Lemmy is going to face the same fate when inevitably the Reddit protest ends in a couple days and everyone goes back to Reddit. Reddit is going to survive.

Another lurker here. Been well over a decade and this is the first time I feel like contributing again. Really hope the fediverse catches on this time.

Totally agree, we need to build for the long term. Engagement has power.

Long time no see, Lemmy. I hope Reddit ending is for the best, and I hope all my precious communities migrate to open source software.

but i don't have anything to say

other than fuck spez of course

Always a bad sign when one of the top comments is trying to compel users to engage.

I couldn’t agree more!

In effort to try to add value to posting, I found a mobile app for iPhone. It’s clearly in beta. I’m not associated with them at all, and I hope they don’t mind me posting the results of my Brave search.

After 14 years on reddit I’m tired of watching it die, the death of Apollo is what pushed me over the edge, I loved Apollo. I’ve been browsing in here for the past few days. I like it. Trying to get used to it. Fuck reddit and u/spez all of the situation was trash. Thank you all for recommending this site!! I’m excited to be apart of it!

You're right, I'll try. I enjoy reading, but often get overwhelmed with trying to respond, so I end up just giving up and not finishing my

Do we get any benefit from hosting our own Lemmy server? I am a tech nerd and love new IT projects. Sorry if this is off topic, please redirect me someplace else if there is a better thread to ask my question in.

Interesting comment here, please upvote

Ok here's a meme that is unrelated to anything we're discussing but always cracks me up:

test post please don't ignore

I try but I rarely post. I did seem to kinda revive the !beeandpuppycat@lemm.ee community so that's dope. I hope people keep posting there.
