Hey everyone! Figured I would do an AMA to kick off some activity in the IAmA community over here. Feel free to throw down some questions below and ill answer them
I'm currently a student in university and have been doing both web development and game development recently (web for internships, game on my own). Out of the four admins ive been the one mainly handling community creation and managing in the instance to make sure everythings running smoothly
Some other misc topics that I can answer about: I compose music & make pixel art, and my favorite games are minecraft, SCP:SL, everhood, battlerite, and metal slug 3
If anyone else wants to do an AMA feel free to start one up in the community (assuming it fits the instance). Any activity helps get the ball rolling for getting it active
The thing it mostly needs right now is more stability. There are some things that are a bit broken right now (e.g. image uploading directly to lemmy only works a bit after the server has been restarted) that could discourage new people from posting. I agree as well that it is a bit hard to get started with lemmy. Ill look into adding some features and help links to make that a bit easier (although certain issues like join-lemmy being overwhelming and saying how to see content from other instances I cant really deal with since you cant see things on the site from other instances)
