I'm a long time mostly lurker on MBin from a couple of years ago now. If I wanted to contribute to your feed but have limited time, what do you feel you'd like to see more of? News reporting? (Are there neglected issues you wish you saw more of in major comms?) Breaking news? Long-form reads? Text posts? Memes?

Other stuff?

Don't ask us what we want to see. If we want it, we'll add it โ€” to our instance. For example, Lemmy.world has a Music comm, and so do a couple others. However, dbzer0 did not. Music is one of my passions in life, so I made the Music comm on the instance I'm on.

Think about what you want to contribute to the Fediverse, and see if your instance (kbin.earth) has it. If not, consider comms that provide it on other instances. You might be better off just contributing to one of those, if everyone federates. The reason I did not join Lemmy.world's Music comm has nothing to do with the people there (I'm sure they're fine folks) but more to do with the beef between some of that instance's admins and some of the people at dbzer0. I don't want to get involved in fediverse/instance drama, but rather, I do like dbzer0, so I figured my efforts would be better served making and maintaining the Music comm on my local instance. So a conversation like that is what you would need to have with yourself, and with anyone you would want to work with on a comm. (Sometimes it's good to have a team. I'm more of a lone wolf.)

I feel like if you're trying to add things that others want, it's not something you'll be passionate about and you'd be apt to give up. Maybe not. I don't know you or your energy. But, that's what's worked for me.

But, as far as what I'd like to see on your slice of the fediverse (I'm guessing you mean your instance), nothing really. I mean, I browse /all, so I see everything that gets posted, unless it gets moderated before I see it. I don't bother with modlogs. So, there's nothing I'm really looking for, per se.

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much more with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜
