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)

Be the change you wish to see in the world

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.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I tried to create a community twice now, but it just sat there spinning after I hit "Create." I'm trying to contribute, dammit.

[–] phil299@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yep, sometimes this is happening to me I just open another tab and often the circle spin is irrelevant and the post or whatever has already been created , seems to be a issue with the system.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It looks like there is already a community with the same name, but when I go there to subscribe, it says "removed by mod." maybe that's my issue. Because even when I try to open new tabs and navigate to the community I'm trying to create, it's not working.

[–] phil299@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Check your profile to see if you mod anything

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Nope, no luck. But I'll figure it out, I'm determined. I really appreciate your help!

We don't talk about that other place

[–] JWBananas@startrek.website 2 points 2 years ago

We don't talk about steve-o!

Huff-mo?

Spezzo?

Idk. I'll try again after more coffee.

[–] a_seattle_ian@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

I never posted on reddit...but luked for a very long time but I want this place to be better the reddit so bad and so....

[–] Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

Then post some interesting content. Posts like this aren't helpful

[–] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just posted a cat hunting it's own tail here. I'm doing my part!

[–] GunnarRunnar@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] CaptainApathetic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (6 children)

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

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 3 points 2 years ago

Only if they're good

[–] minimar@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] Glemek@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The content must flow

You know, I tried creating content about animal facts and nobody read it.

[–] DaveFuckinMorgan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I'd like to complain about reddit for at least another month, thank you.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

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.

[–] Esjee@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Hope lemmy scare you blows up. I used to read no sleep every night before sleeping.

Edit: I'd suggest changing the name of the community to just "Lemmy Scare You". Right now it's also showing spooky stories to scare you in the title name. Also a cover art for the community would make it look more active and might result in more subs

We can do both :) .

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

hey its me ur celebrity.

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 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] TheDarkBanana87@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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 couldn't agree more with your reply. What I'm saying is, lets focus on this new journey. Reddit do have their hiccups when first generally used by its user 15 years ago, and i believe Reddit start just like how Lemmy/Kbin, or any Fediverse app start. Its a bumpy road, but its a good progress

The fact that we interact in this post means that we have the same goal, we enjoy interacting on this platform, and its a good thing. because new users can see that there's activity, there's interaction within Lemmy.

Sorry for bad English :D

I'm here trying to learn how this service operates, and am finding a few bugs that make it more challenging than it probably should be. Some things, like trying to post musings or my own miscilaneous content "to myself" (that is, it would be part of my own page that can be viewed, but not part of a particular community) just gives me a spinning wheel indefinitely. If nothing else, better feedback from the UI would greatly help.

[–] moog@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

i agree. when people come here well have a better chance of getting them to stay if theres good content. but a little would still be good since theyre coming here angry at reddit most likely.

[–] FaygoBoozer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We are making content.....we're just also talking about reddit sometimes. Sort by All.

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

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

hell yeah, but how does one make a sub-lemmy? I've been wanting to make one but not too sure how! also, I don't know how to mod or anything lol. can I appoint people to do it?

[–] dystop@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Are you on an app or the website? Just click on "create a community" and do it - I started Maliciouscompliance.

The issue is with getting content. If you start a new one you should be prepared to post stuff for a few days, even if nobody responds.

well i am making a point to not go to reddit anymore so i'm glad people post here about what's happening during the blackout etc here so i can see it.

[–] xtremeownage@lemmyonline.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am! We are!

(Just- make sure to subscribe to more places. There are a ton of communities spread around on various instances)
