Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Spend some time posting stuff in the !journaling@sh.itjust.works, hopefully encouraging members to participate more. Things have started to move in the right direction which makes me even more convinced there are a lot more people that could share real good/interesting/useful/fun content. One just needs to find how to encourage them.
Write a letter and send it to a friend, the old-school snail mail way.
Read (a paper book) and write (on sheets of paper, with a fountain pen). Yep, I try to spend as much time as I can away from any screen.
Do chores. Yeah! (Don't tell anyone, I cheated as little as I started the laundry today already)
Get over that nasty cold I got a couple days ago.
If that cold allows, get out for my daily walks.
Last but certainly not not least, spend as much time as I can with my spouse, being silly together. It doesn't matter if we're well into our 50s and are supposed to be serious and all that, or if we've been silly together for 25 years already, it's always a lot of fun ;)

I haven't done it much recently, but I do love writing by hand. Carefully writing letters to give to my D&D group with my ink and quill. Composing on paper with a pencil and rubber. There's something much more personal about it than typing on a screen.

So much! Like receiving (and sending) a handwritten letter. I don't now, It encourages to care much in reading and/or answering it.
