I don't lurk just to lurk, I just have nothing to say most of the time. Still waiting on the niche reddit communities I was a part of to make it here, if they ever do.

Same here! Though, I'm also a chronic upvoter, so I hope that makes up for it.

[-] GatoB@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

Upvoting is also important to make the best content appear on top

Upvoting isn’t working for me. I click it, watch it change, then after about 2 seconds the upvote goes away.

I was having the same problem, but if you refresh the page it should stay blue :)

This also works if your comments aren’t appearing.

And comment if you even have something remotely decent to say. And add a profile picture.

Be the change you want to see! In one week I've made more comments on here than the last two years on Reddit. If the communities you want don't exist, start them up and post the type of content you'd like to see.

But how does one even start your favorite subredditd again? I want to do Aquariums but have no clue

[-] saltylefty@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

lemmy.ca/c/aquariums exists and could definitely use some content

[-] StringTheory@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

First search “aquariums” and see if someone has an aquarium community running - they are roaring into existence hot and fast!

That quote is so good

Ditto, feels like we are just standing around a big semi empty gymnasium waiting to find all the other weirdos who like what we like again.

I only lurked on reddir but here saying something feels more impactful somehow. Post some fleeting thoughts to begin with, it helps to pump up our rookie numbers.
