Welcome to today's daily kōrero!

Yes, I created the daily today just to say how good the new kiwi icon looks, but feel free to chat anything that takes your fancy.

Today is Friday, what are your weekend plans?

I've only been on lemmy for a few weeks so I'm really not sure but I think next week is going to see a decent jump in numbers.

How are you finding it so far?

Obviously overall engagement and the number of communities? (Equivalent of subreddits) is a lot lower, but hopefully there's a bit of an increase in the coming weeks? Got quite a small community vibe to it at the moment, which is seeing me want to engage more in my "local" communities. Might be a bit of a Goldilocks zone in the coming weeks/months where there's enough engagement, but not full on Reddit levels.

Engagement is better in a lot of ways. You don't have to come up with some kind of "witty" comment for it to be seen. Smaller networks have a lot of advantages. Make sure you branch out into communities on other servers, there is quite a bit of activity in other parts.

Yeap! Slowly finding my feet in this place, trying to find the equivalents of what I was subbed on before.

I think that community is on nsfwlemmy

I'm preferring it. Obviously people like what they like, but the Reddit I fell in love with 12 years ago has steadily declined in terms of the ability to have a decent conversation, so I'm loving the small community vibe here. Definitely going to be interesting watching it evolve!
