What tweaks have improved your Lemmy experience? in c/lemmy@lemmy.ml

I realized that if I want more people to engage w/ content, I have to be the change I want to see. I interact w/ content more regularly as a result

Yes, a good rule of thumb is to try and submit at least one good post per day. I don't know how the algorithm works here, but over on the other site, it only feeds one post into the feed of your users if your sub is small.

It would be nice to have a "lemmy checker" tool that shows you what instances a given url is posted to. in c/lemmy@lemmy.ml

Maybe you could have a setting where you indicate 2-4 instances you want it to always search. A lot of instances are like mine, just made for one or a few users and aren't going to host a lot of content.

There are a couple of browser extensions for the other place that show you what subreddits a given URL are posted to. If you're looking for discussion about a current link/page/site, it's very handy. Also, if you're submitting links, it's helpful to show where a given link has already been submitted and when.

Searching Lemmy instances can be daunting. An extension like this would be amazing.

I had a hard time with this and I could not get lemmy easy deploy to work. I was finally able to install on a Pi 4 with ansible using ubergeek77's images. It was difficult because of the lack of documentation.
