Didn't even know Venom was out

Yes if they are specifically creating said content to nurture Lemmy.

The issue is finding people wanting to create such content.

When you look at who create the posts here, it's probably around 50 people in the general communities. The 50 of us prevent the platform from looking like a ghost town, out of 44k active users. And that's an easy job, it's just repost content from Reddit. How many artists, data visualizers, etc do you think we have here?

Artists wise, the only one I know is David Revoy who does nice work to promote Mastodon and others: https://www.davidrevoy.com/article1043/my-neighbor-mastodon-and-fediverse

But that's about it. You have some people sharing their creations on !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works or !artshare@lemmy.world , but would those creations stand out if shared on Reddit, next to dozens of similar artwork?

I'm trying to be realistic here, OC would be nice, but we probably don't have the numbers, and more importantly, we are competing against Reddit 2024.

I think the platform inspires snark and winner takes all mentality.

It's really community dependant. As I said, tech communities can be quite toxic

The barrier to entry on Lemmy is pretty huge for new people.

What you described is true for non Fediverse users, but I was talking about Mastodon or Sharkey users. To be honest, I think the discoverability/blocking issues are even worse on those platforms than Lemmy.

If I had to suggest one way to reduce that barrier to entry I’d suggest building a default set of subscriptions (maybe take all of the trending communities from the last 12 or 18mo and put them in a feed) so that new people can start participating more quickly. I think that would reduce the “fuck this I give up” rate considerably.

That could help, but good luck defining those without having duplicates such as !movies@lemmy.world and !movies@lemm.ee into the mix, confusing people on another level

Some Linux users can be so toxic it's cringe.

And I use Linux.

The issue is that Reddit became a place to host OC because it had such a large userbase. Originally, it was just a link agregators based on votes, there were not even comments or subs.

There is some OC created here in !inktober@sh.itjust.works for instance, but realistically, if someone made a nice infographic today, would they really only post it here on Lemmy, and not share it on Reddit as well, the picture itself, without any reference to Lemmy, to avoid their publication to get removed?

Edit: Instagram and Twitter would also be places to reach a much wider audience compared to here
