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?

I also think news and memes are the exact two things we have in abundance. And I mean we already got a million other online places to read the news. What I like is the more personal things. What people genuinely care about. Their hobby projects, what you soldered/programmed/knitted/drew/... favourite computer games, books, fandoms...

I think one of the great things about platforms who have more content than we do is, how you can find stuff about every niche interest, including people to talk to. Thely'll talk about doing hobby horsing, painting minifigures, soldering lightning sensors, producing music with Free Software. And as a user you can read about all kinds of fascinating, sometimes weird stuff... You can easily find similar-minded people within the communities. I think we could use a bit more of that. Pretty much everything that isn't news or just copied from some other place.

We already have some of that. For example I see people post nice pictures they took. Of animals, or from spectacular locations. The dull men's club has a lot of genuine stuff from people's lives... And I can find people to talk to about Star Trek and some of my computer and electronics interests. I think the threaded part of the Fediverse is ideal for that kind of content. But we kinda need a broader bandwidth of stuff. And not only content, but the community of people who care and talk about it.

"I also think news and memes are the exact two things we have in abundance." YES

I would actually like to be able block some of that content....Another i get fed up of is anime...each to their own but i wish there was a tag that i could just use to sweep it all away.

I also miss creative content, the crafts/diy communities are pretty quite, i would love l to see more integration with pixelfed and makertube.

I try my best to post to the creative ones when I've made something worth posting but yeah, not exactly buzzing with activity. I'll post them in case theres some new ones people haven't heard of.
!handmade@lemmy.world
!imadethis@lemmy.zip
!leathercraft@lemmy.ca
!Art_Alchemist_Guild@lemmy.today - this is rather active and fun
And in the spoiler below is my own pretty new and mildly nsfw crafting community, slightly self-promotional but thought to post in case people like it. Not much there yet, want to post more but I've been busy and had a bit of a creative block.

Welcome!

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˜
