Not that it is not interesting but I would like just a tad more variety on the front page.

Edit btw for those who are wondering the two communities I started are https://lemmy.world/c/newmusic and https://kbin.social/m/musicfeedback/microblog (not sure if I have the links correct for people)

i agree. when people come here well have a better chance of getting them to stay if theres good content. but a little would still be good since theyre coming here angry at reddit most likely.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yea... see... the problem is that I never create content, i just browse...

the same thing happened with Mastodon for a while after Elon took over Twitter, lots of people posting Twitter news and talking about what has happening on Twitter. might be best to just wait it out πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Things are more like they are now, than they have ever been before.

Yeah the internet is abuzz with Spez's antics, don't expect that to die down for a while. If they follow through with the deadline it will be even worse.

Still we can add other stuff, maybe drown out the roar a bit. Can always use more communities, I have some good ones now, but I still need a couple I'm lacking.

Been uploading pics of my cats, a few old memes I have that made me laugh again, and even one of my old car. Believe me, some of us are trying!

Even in new everything is reddit this, reddit that, lets stop.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

But don't stop on reddit. That's where the annoying megaphones ought to be.

Reddit blackout was all I saw until I clicked β€œCommunities” at the top and subscribed to my interests. Now there’s lots of other stuff too.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The biggest issue with most Reddit-like websites is that the general user-base tends to talk a lot about Reddit and why they hate it.

The issue with lack of content is the 90-9-1 rule. I’m planning to actually start posting to this website soon just to start more discussions and topics. Post anything and everything; it’s how a site like this grows.

I run a nice London community at the feddit.uk instance, while it's not front page material I highly suggest just finding communities that fill your niche and subscribing to those. The Reddit stuff will die down when this place starts to establish it's own identity but for now lets now start from bottom and work our way up to a unique community then just being Reddit for those who don't like Reddit.

I'm definitely in support of "mega-threading" anything related to the Reddit blackout unless it's big breaking news (but mega-thread those events too).

I've also started to look for communities for some of my interests, but I suspect it's going to take a while before a lot of them spread to here. There are also a bunch that I can't really start since I am primarily a consumer and not a producer (specialized topics like astrophysics that I am not a subject matter expert for).

Nice meta commentary

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

I think the drama will continue and we'll see an uptick after July 1st when the third party apps dies. But this too shall pass. Just give it some time.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

the "perfectlycutmeows" community is working here and a couple other instances, as well as a magazine on kbin.social and a channel on dalek.zone, so you can count me in and you can search for it yourself

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

It'll get better over time as things settle in. Right now reddit is just the hottest topic on the block

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

well i am making a point to not go to reddit anymore so i'm glad people post here about what's happening during the blackout etc here so i can see it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've been doing my part and posting content I'm interested in. I hope more people do and that this site picks up.

I am actually trying to find more of it! I love burn corposhit style drama. Its a bit all over the place though so i can see why its annoying. Maybe i should start my own community..

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Not mine but I really like [email protected].

I post media reviews on my sublemmy :D [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

I'm interested in the new music community! I'm terrible at branching out. Thanks for making something I didn't know I wanted.
