Memes

Precisely! I try to comment and post partly for the purpose of generating activity

Can confirm I'm sitting in many communities waiting for content, and always delighted to see it.

If I was interesting, maybe I'd make some of my own.

I just uploaded a pic of my portable CD player from 1990 to a community for CD collectors. Nobody had uploaded in a couple months and the only person who had ever uploaded was the creator.

It proceeded to get quadruple the upvotes of the last post. People are there. You just have to share what you've got.

Now this is the inspirational content I want to see out of The_Picard_Maneuver

That’s what I’ve been doing at [email protected] and it isn’t growing :( Czechs seem to be comfortable with Reddit.

Please link it

There were/are a lot of dumb subs full of dumb content for sure, but what I miss about Reddit are the subs that have a super deep expert knowledge base. The plumbing sub, the mechanic advice sub, the vacuum sub, the fountain pen sub, etc. I've saved a lot of money and heartache by asking knowledgeable people naive questions in niche subreddits. Lemmy just plain doesn't have the numbers for those kinds of subs to exist here at that level yet. But I hope we get there because for me that was the best thing about Reddit (though I also have a soft spot for the big "what's your true real life paranormal experience" mega-threads that would pop off every few months.)

Your comment resonates with me on more than one level. I joined Lemmy after Apollo went down, and incidentally was also excited to see ObsidianMD (hello, fellow Obsidian user). I was hoping people would migrate over from Reddit but alas, I still have to go where the discussion is. I kind of feel bad about it, but still do it. I also feel like moving away from Reddit saved me from hours of mindless doom scrolling,although I suspect that now I am doing that when reading Lemmy local.

When I first arrived in Lemmy the top posts were about 100 likes and 5 comments. It has grown so much since then that I was already super happy but then this week they launch Boost for lemmy (I was a boost user on the before times) and now my life is finally complete again. Have faith guys, things will get better!

My favs from Reddit were "Data is beautiful," "Next fucking level," "Life pro tips," maybe their more active alternatives exist on Lemmy under some other names?

For me it's disc golf.

Funny animals.

Trackers.

A lot of the OC nsfw subs aren't nearly as active yet, especially if they're more niche.

MMA.

Oh, you're the lifeblood of @gameart, aren't you? I tried to contribute once, but then my favorite screenshot I ever took never even federated at all and I got too discouraged.

Still sad about it, tbh. No idea if it would happen again or not. I should dig through my folders again. I don't think I have much, but I must have something

This is how you link to communities

Actually "communities". But terminology really is beside the point here.

I feel like a "sinking" pun was right there.

FYI the episode discussions on [email protected] are automated by a bot (the same used on Reddit in fact) and us Kbin users can't see bot posts, so it looks like there are none. I have high hopes that the next big Kbin update remedies this issue.
