You can't tell me what to do! (Wait...)

I was looking for a reddit alternative that was similar to how mastodon works and found lemmy. I don't like mastodon very much, but I thought the mastodon concept works much better when you have smaller communities decentralized over multiple instances. Kind of like all those bb-forums back in the day, but through a single interface/client.

So naturally, I do like Lemmy but it still kind of has the same problems I have with Mastodon. I want to go into detail in a full post at a later time, but in general it comes down to the user experience not being great. I have quite a lot of ideas for improvements

Even bad content is still content and gets more engagement than nothing.

100%. No one is here from my niche interest so I made a community and I'm going to post in it every day.

I'll probably get around to making some of the communities that I miss. I don't know that I have time to moderate, so it's still up in the air.

Easier said than done. Every time I try to post something it just hangs.

Okay, I'll try my best.

Just joined today but currently loving the default browser layout, will see what communities are available and start making content.

I'm just chilling and getting comfy. then I'll start contributing after I feel out the vibe here.

@GatoB I'm trying to make the best effort I can, I started a London community at feddit.uk/c/london and been making content for it and cross posting whatever I come across that could work there. So far I gotten around roughly 50 subscribers and some engagement in my posts. I'm reaching out for engagement so if you want to join in and make this something I'd really appreciate it.

... Or if you want to lurk I'm good with that too, I'd appreciate the eyes more then anything at this point.

Don't tell me what to do! Heheheheh

Where can I start my own community? There's some things I want but I dont wnat to host my own instance.
