I'm honestly just trying to post content to communities I'm interested in. If people show up and there's no content they'll just leave. I'm trying to submit interesting posts.

Also, what’s for breakfast?

toast and coffee, as (almost) always

I created this magazine if anyone is interested. I could always use some help with content!

I'm actively looking into getting the kbin project installed locally so I can get some UI/UX pull requests going. I've given it a good go today but keep running into issues getting it set up, I've already logged a report and joined a forum with other devs but everyone is busy AF with their own thing so I guess all I can do is wait :(

It sucks to to be stuck.

If randomly there's a person on here who's familiar with docker and yarn I could use all the help I can get!

I really hope this works out. I'll start trying to post more frequently.

kbin, lemmy, saidit, aagh I've established so many logins everywhere to try to replace the void that uSpez has created in my life, and this "fediverse" is complex & unsatisfying to my idle mind that just wants to relax in idle moments.

am eating MealSquares for breakfast. it's new-age complete nutrition in a brownie. i live on this stuff & it's amazing. i'm thin, fit, healthy, & i feel fantastic. effortless nutrition. Sorry if i sound like an ad. i'm not. You asked what I'm having for breakfast.

@MyMulligan Planning to add a few articles. Daily post. Weekly themed things. Things to get people talking.

Today's breakfast is Fried Tofu and Rice, with some salt. Simple but delicious.

I created an alt and created !t_mobile@lemmy.ml and !tmobileisp@lemmy.ml

I started yesterday. Liking it so far, blocking some magazines that are maybe for teens.

My question is about comments. When I'm on kbin and browse a different instance's communities, I'll see comments, but when I switch instances to say lemmy.world there'll be more comments or entirely different comments.

Are comments only local to your instance?

In the begining I was rolling through the subs that I'm interested in that weren't getting a lot of engagement and posting something, and trying to engage with some other content that was on there. I'm doing it when I have time. Hopefully others are doing the same.

We're getting there, it def feels as though these instances have more legs than the Twitter Masto experience in the fall. Just gotta keep engaging and sharing content. The emphasis though should be on engaging on pre-existing content, with meaningful comments. Just dropping in and saying "interesting article" probably isn't going to be helpful.

For now I think the most important thing is simply keeping discussion in the big / obvious / front-page areas active enough that new users see that it's a lively community. We don't necessarily have to recreate every esoteric subreddit right away, that can come in time; the important thing is that whenever a new person shows up they see a bunch of recent posts and a bunch of recent comments (and not a ton of spam / ads / whatever).

Think of it a bit like walking around a city you don't know and trying to pick out a restaurant to have dinner at - maybe you can't find your favorite cuisine, but if a place looks clean and new and lively and the bar is well-stocked then perhaps it's OK if the menu is a bunch of New American blah blah whatever because you're still going to end up happy and fed. (and can note with interest the sign about the Romanian Enchilada place that's opening next month and remind yourself to come back then)

Sort by new, comment and subscribe to communities on other servers. That seems the easiest way to doing something "cheap".

I'm doing my part. I'm posting on here and created a new magazine. Sure it's not the most active but there's only so much I'm gonna do about it.
