Not that it is not interesting but I would like just a tad more variety on the front page.

Edit btw for those who are wondering the two communities I started are https://lemmy.world/c/newmusic and https://kbin.social/m/musicfeedback/microblog (not sure if I have the links correct for people)

I have , amazingly I decided to start two communities, something I have never done before despite the fact I had a 12 year badge and thousands of karma at the other place.

We don't talk about that other place

We don't talk about steve-o!

Huff-mo?

Spezzo?

Idk. I'll try again after more coffee.

Does stealing memes from discord servers and posting them here count? Asking for a friend....

Everything I see on Discord that I think is funny or interesting goes to lemmy. I'm a discord repost bot.

Well they are encouraging to a degree but please next one of "these" maybe next week? Meta complaints are really drag if they're repeated over and over again.

I feel like we all just went through a breakup and all we can do is talk about our ex. We know it's stupid, and we found someone else. But for right now, we are rebounding hard on Lemmy.

Eh, let people get it out of their system. It's gonna be that way for the next month or so anyway since there will be a new influx of users in July when the 3PAs stop working.

[-] phil299@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years ago

This is why I posted, I really think we need to concentrate on unique content now so when the next influx comes we not all naval gazing

[-] WildfireFailure@programming.dev 14 points 2 years ago

Reddits success was due to the genuineness of conversations. You'd have celebs hop on and not their pr person and engage in meaningful conversation, you'd have amas from unexpected professions and give unknown details about it.

You'd have full rage comics that fit a certain mold and lolcat memes.

Just type out whatever thoughts you have, nobody's judging!

[-] c0c0c0@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Everyone's judging! I'm pretty sure that's how the platform is designed.

But I get what you're saying. I'm just adding my little joke to grow the content library.

Here's the thing, for this to work out we need the long game. Doesn't matter if you're boring, you know about at least one topic you care about. Make an effort to post once a day about it. You may even have to create the community for you to do that. Pace yourself, this is a marathon, not a sprint. Just remember this can't be taken away from us. Not anymore.

Shameless self promotion:

I've made Lemmy Scare You! https://lemmy.world/c/lemmyscareyou as an alternative to Nosleep, and Now Lemmy Explain https://lemmy.world/c/nowlemmyexplain as an alternative to ELI5. Hopefully I can make them better than the old places, and I would love if you could start contributing contents there.

Other shameless self promotion: Go watch my movies.

I’m tired of the Reddit and fed drama. Ready to move on.

[-] iAmTheTot@kbin.social 30 points 2 years ago

Posts like this are just adding to the reddit circle jerk, you know. Don't post shit like this, just post the content you're talking about.

[-] papalonian@kbin.social 19 points 2 years ago

"Can you guys just start posting the content I like, please?"

I don't like all the reddit posts either but sheesh

Yeah, totally agree with this post, grew tired of Reddit Circle Jerk. Its like when someone cant move on with their past, so they bring it to every conversation, how their ex (Reddit) used to be, and found a new lover (Lemmy/Kbin) and how things work great with this new relationship

Let's just forget about Reddit. Reddit can do whatever it want's, the user that still on Reddit can also do whatever they want. Lets just focus on growing this new communities, this Fediverse, and do what we can do to make it thrive, and how to make it better for new user, and the less tech savy one

[-] Zetaphor@zemmy.cc 17 points 2 years ago

Sure, but "the past" as you refer to it was not even a week ago, and the situation is still actively unfolding.

Communities are growing, OC is being posted, and the lemmyverse is starting to get its legs underneath it. If you look past the reddit related posts you will see this happening all around you.

However most of us haven't even been here a week, communities aren't built overnight. Reddit has 15 years of people creating content and building out subreddits.

I think in terms of link aggregation, there is going to be a fair amount of duplication necessary to get a critical mass of links/content here, that people can interact with. After all, 1% post, 9% comment, 90% lurk.

I'm not suggesting we automate it, but in order to kickstart some communities I'm certainly going to be copying links from some good subs on reddit (if they're open) over here. After all they're just links to other articles/media/etc, they're not exclusive to reddit.

It would be good if everyone who comes over here and subscribes to some communities sees that there are posts going on there. It only takes a couple or a few active people to make a buzz.

I've been trying to post content on all niche subreddits I used to lurk in. I basically get the non-reddit links and useful resources and start sharing them here.

[-] jcb2016_@mastodon.social 19 points 2 years ago

@phil299 You realize that the only way through this is to talk about it right? It’s like breaking up with someone you are with for years then they just f up and try to forgive them but it’s too late

I was always a commenter and a voter, not a poster. But I’ve decided I’m gonna to make an effort to post in communities that I have interests in. Gardening, food interests, photography, hiking, current events, travel, video games, finance/investing, etc. It’s not something I’m used to doing. And it’s gonna take some effort at first, but I’d rather start a new habit here than go back to that other place.

[-] SillyJester@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 2 years ago

I muted all reddit related instances because I was tired of this and discovered there was essentially no content being posted outside of it. So I unblocked. I wish beehaw didn't close itself off. They had some cool casual spaces. :/

All my yes! We have loved, we have lost, we have mourned, it's time to move on. Trying to rebuild a broken window in the way it was before is pointless, but we can pick up the pieces, dust them off, and build something new together!

I think it's a combination of it being a fresh breakup, and also being something you would normally see on the front page anyways, because it's a huge event worthy of being there.

[-] vimdiesel@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

We can do both :) .
