I gotta stop lurking...

Good practice; See a post that might fit a theme sutiable for somewhere else? Cross post it to a place that it suits. You can go to the community and search for a place like "Facepalm" and crosspost it there.

I have been trying to raise interest for other communities Mildly Infuriating has hit 2.81K members which is staggering, I'm honestly so happy to see it but we still have a way to go. I have every desire to spread the people of the community around as it's a win for Lemmy and a spite to Reddit. It's in our interest for the fediverse to explode and grow with content.

It's why I'm also advocating for communities to partner with each other. You can place links to other communities that may have a similar theming that other people might like. It would be a great way to offer up more content, and give that much needed love to communities starting and growing! <3

Ok, buddy. I'll test cross-commenting here, if you don't mind.

E: nice

I've been a lurker on reddit for the most part and it seems easier to talk on Lemmy. I guess because it's a smaller community, or because your instance feels a little more private.

Currently I'm in the explore phase where I look left and right and find where I should put myself in, but yes of course after this phase end, I will try to contribute more!

I’m at least trying to comment more on posts. Breaking the lurker habit is hard.

Alright, I usually lurk, but I started off here by creating a community of my favorite game.

Hello everyone! I must say that it's a bit confusing and all, especially finding new communities. But it seems like it has lots of opportunity!

Is there a way for people to express interest in new communities, and for people to help set them up and circulate when it's there?

I know it doesn't exactly seem hard, but it's enough of a barrier for someone who's already feeling hesitant.

We need accessibility first, honestly the site is kinda confusing and acts weirdly on mobile and the official app is the same, both of these two need to use simple design, the android app is focusing on material you theme but most of the people here I believe the want usability rather than asthetic, I know it's free and hard work that I'm criticising, but we simple users need to build and make the communities better while the developers working on the site and the accessibilities, together we will break the chain of proprietary.

But. . . my content is terrible. . . It's like stale chips. You'll eat them if you have to but you won't enjoy it.

I've been tryna make c/football pretty active by posting transfer news haha, used to just read what other people sent instead of going to Twitter myself but now...

While I only lurked on reddit, looking forward to a fresh start without all the bots. Planning to start contributing and focus more on hobbies than doomscrolling and nonsense

Hello everyone! I must say that it's a bit confusing and all, especially finding new communities. But it seems like it has lots of opportunity!

It's a good mentality to have.

I kept looking for communities and not finding them, so I started making them. Then adding posts to those communities, and to my surprise people do come and upvote and comment.

hello, just moved here from reddit

looking good so far!

It will come naturally after api change is done. Yesterday we had a chance to testdrive new user influx before the bigger wave after 3rd party apps are cut. Let's see how many users are going to endure reddit's native app.

You can't tell me what to do! (Wait...)
