Lemmy

I wonder if it wouldn't be wise to try and emulate some of the easier/more participatable subreddits here. Askreddit theads for instance are a big pull (even if they tend to be. well, redditors post on them use your imagination).

Well I am somewhat of a lurker myself and came to know about lemmy recently. Commenting here for engagement and gonna try to be more active from now on.

Sounds to me like a call for shitposters to assemble lol

Trying my best! I'm trying to decide if I want to open my instance up to more users or not as well.

It’s a bit difficult getting into Lemmy and the feediverse I gotta say. But after looking around for a while I really like how things work here, compared to reddit

I wish signing up was easier for non technical users.

I understand the need for approving new sign ups but this can be off putting for new users.

Let's defeat the 90/9/1-rule!

How does one comment here??

I can try

Lunking

I'd like to post things, but are the communities, instances or whatever superagressive if you "Post the wrong thing to the wrong place TM", even by accident or misunderstanding? I stopped contributing to Reddit because of it.

And can the post-box be at the top of the page, before comments instead of at the bottom?

Commenting for the engagement as requested, sir.

I took a long break from Lemmy and I returned after the Reddit fiasco. I was active on mk.absturztau.be.

I never posted on Reddit but lurked it for years using Reddit is Fun. I feel like their decision to essentially kill third party apps is just the start of pushing terrible changes that will turn Reddit into something like Facebook.

After learning a bit about how Lemmy works I'm really interested to see how it grows! Without any one person or organization at the helm it'll be interesting to see what communities naturally flourish.

I'm u/GNUGradyn on Reddit, here's my first comment on lemmy

Well, I already voted and commented more here then I ever did on Reddit, so that should work out :)

I'll try not to lurk, even though I'm use to lurking.

The best thing about Lemmy is that it's still so raw. There is so much potential for it to be turned into something really great. Then again, television was once like that, I suppose - so was the internet, now I think about it. Oh well, at least I'm not lurking.

I will do my part!

I've been on reddit for far longer than I'd care to admit. It's been a weird feeling deleting all of my bookmarks and apps in an attempt to avoid just absently mindedly returning.

I agree. It already helps if you comment under stuff that you liked. Pushes the good content up to the top and it will be more visible for others.
