I just wish the people in the subs I mod and post in would post some too. I feel like I am just posting for myself in those subs. Hell I am not a mod in c/trailrunning and it has like 170 members and no one post. I was the last person that posted. I know people are looking because someone is upvoting the things I post but no replies, no conversation. I don't know what to do to drive engagement.
I didn't know that community existed! Not sure what to post there yet but I'll join
Reddit has a dedicated Tor site
Holy shit, I actually managed to make an anonymous account over Tor. Now lets see how long before I get banned/shadowbanned. Didn't even think this was possible.
Update: Reddit is ass
Fuck corporate.
GO FEDIVERSE FOREVER 🏆
Lemmy is also not overrun by AI bots and sock puppets.
For now!
Everyone here is my alt, except you.
There are only two real users on Lemmy, its just you and me. Get pranked!

This
Edit: thanks for the gold kind stranger!
For some of the really prolific posters, yes. But there are also lurkers like me.
I doubt anyone can recognize me when I comment or encounter a comment I made.
I'm order to prove you wrong, I am committed to remembering your username.
User tags make recognizing people a lot easier. I see tagged users a lot. Voyager even keeps a running total of how many times I have upvoted and downvoted particular users.
There’s one user I have at like -30, tagged as a Nazi apologist. And sure enough, every time I scroll past them, they’re commenting some weird BS.
your privacy is worse on lemmy. anyone can access all your comment and post upvotes and downvotes. your pms are open for server admins to read. both examples need to be fixed imo
So can you on reddit.
I think should touch some grass because i may recognise more people here than in the village i am living in for like 2 jears
It's the same with every small forum tbh
Typical Magnus comment.
Calm down buddy, Magnus didn't do nothin wrong.
I mean, sure, if we're pretending you can't abandon accounts at will and make new ones elsewhere in the lemmy...verse.
The whole idea of "who" is kinda pointless.
Maybe I am the real Vanilla Puddinfudge. Maybe I'm not. What would it mean either way?
I'm a polish girl who tried to make friends on lemmy but that didn't work out too well
Username checks out
At least we can all say that we are famous on the internet.
Even on big websites like Wikipedia there are only a few hundred major editors that write most of the content and they all know each other. On Youtube you tend to get to know everyone in your filter bubble as well.
At least people are keeping my mother's name out of their damn mouth.
The place is a Village rather than a City.
Oh, you sour winter adult
Oh, you bitter elder of autumn.
I love being able to have the small-forum feeling of my home instance but also feeling connected to communities elsewhere.
Oh, you salty spring chicken
Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
