Let's help our community grow & boost activity! [META]
(lemmy.world)
Mod of /c/asklemmy here to help out!
Done and done! Cheers!
I love seeing all the old subreddits showing up on Lemmy as new communities. I hope to see this community grow into an active community that is truly owned by the community!
Thank you and welcome aboard! We seem to be growing quite fast :) thanks to our amazing members!^^
Cool! I'll add to the comments here, because I've got a meta question about Lemmy.
I hear there are different kinds of instances. I found .world by accident. My question is, do they all form some super conglomerate where all instances can see the others? Or do you have to, like, create a different username/pw for each one to view content in the other ones?
Yes. You can see some posts on our community were even posted from Mastodon. All these different instances form the federation, which you can learn more about by reading the starter guide here.
Thanks! :)
EDIT: Wow! That infographic is super helpful. Loving the welcoming vibe.
No worries! Happy fediversing :)
One thing I'm noticing is that this community and the other one get a lot of questions about the Lemmy service itself, or the UI, or the underlying technology. Is this a problem, inevitable, or both?
Both :) but we can't really complain, as there isn't too much activity right now and most people are still learning
Is this Lemmy community contiguous with the Reddit sub?
The only things we have in common are the name and some of the format, and the users who left Reddit. :)
This is awesome! More and more of the communities I followed on Reddit are appearing here. I love this place
Thank you, and welcome aboard! :)
Here to help, I hope the shift goes well. Would love to see more people switching off r*ddit
It happens with all types of products, we’re just reaching the point where it’s happening on social media products. It’s the same reason why shrinkflation is a thing.
When markets are young, and when products are new, you grow and profit by building the best thing you can. If you can build a great product and it takes off, things are good. But as markets mature and new user/buyer growth isn’t feasible anymore, the game changes to seeing just how much profit you can squeeze out of each buyer/user before they quit your product. So just like other products move to cheaper ingredients or components at the same price, social media companies need to provide the lowest quality product that still maintains revenue. They’re banking on people accepting the worse product.
Unfortunately what a lot of companies are finding out, social media isn’t as vital to people as they think it is. People are willing to walk away when pushed too far, which is what Twitter and Reddit are seeing now.

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
