EDIT: Argh, got the text placement wrong. Whatever, good enough for a low-effort meme :P

Controversial take but in the early days I think it's fine if you replicate the content from the old Reddit posts (maybe even link to the post) as long as you don't claim credit. I think people just wanna see things at first, and then the conversation can grow. It's not like Reddit was chock full of OC.
That's my thoughts really. Integrate content that's being posted to reddit to flesh the boards out for the time being, and the communities will gradually grow on their own.

Ok what if you made the community and posted in it twice daily and now feel like you are talking to yourself?
Eventually someone will roll in and then you'll just be talking a lot at them.
If you're lucky, they might even talk back.

Yeah, I feel this. I wont make communities since I'm not the moderator type. But I will make an effort to post which in my case is a step up since I mostly lurk.

Now I do the same thing I've always done,
Lurk and never contribute any content!
I'll try to change i swear
Start posting, chatting and contributing! I'm trying to be active here myself.
I don't like modding, but I've even created my own community here, which is saying a lot given how lazy I am.
And while I'm at it, i hope you don't mind a shoutout to my new community, maliciouscompliance - recreated this as it was one of my favorite places to lurk on reddit!

Really makes it obvious how much content gets reposted by bots on that site. There really isnt as much original content being posted there as you might think.
I feel like this is more a user/uncertainty issue right now. Reddit still has a lot more users than Lemmy, I feel like a lot of communities are spread across different instances (am I saying that right?), so no ones knows which will be 'the main one', and I think a lot of users are still looking around, watching and learning how Lemmy works, before fully committing and posting like they did on Reddit. I know I am.
That's the boundary to break I guess - it really doesn't matter which instance you're on; the communities are all the same.
And before someone says 'but the duplicate communities' point me to an example and I'll tell you which one will last to become the community. (Or I'll point out the quadruplicate sub-reddit equivalents.)

Lemmy seems somewhat confusing to those who rarely or never used Fediverse (myself also rarely use Mastodon tho), but after I short while I get the hang of it tho. My instance is at lemmy.world, Its UI after a time trying is quite unstable; for example, a post's karma is fluctuating at time, sometimes from over 1k drop down to negative, and upvotes aren't recognized until you reload the page, the amount of time to post of login can be very long,...

The water in those bags is somehow way less dense than the sea water.

First day was hard and I was trying to check what's going on in the remaining subreddits, but now on day 2 I don't even wanna go there and prefer lemmy for sure. It feels more pure here.

lemmy was what i wanted and needed (:
Thanks for bringing me in from the cold!!
Reddit refugees be like "Why isn't this Reddit and when will the devs LiStEn To ThIeR uSeRs AnD mAkE iT rEdDiT"
Seems pretty similar to Reddit to me, besides the whole decentralised nature which is a plus anyway
What are people complaining about?
Alongside that more reasonable point of individual features, alot of people are mad that the service is instance based and are angry that that there isn't a single iteration of communities, IE only one /c/aww or /c/vets or whatever.
Basically they fled a central organizational authority and got mad there's no central organizational authority.
Yeah, I'm a Reddit refugee, and I heard a bunch of people complaining about there being no "centralized login", and I'm like--bruh, that's WHY WE MOVED HERE, lmao!

It takes a little getting used to but I'm liking it more and more. Even with it's quirks.
Absolutely. I think the quirks are cool, makes it feel more new and fresh

I'm enjoying it so far, though it's gonna take some getting used to. The Android app isn't bad, either.

This can be the beginning of something great.
I got yelled at on Mastadon for saying refugee, apparently it's offensive to people from war torn countries.
Is it really? I feel like people in war torn countries have more important shit to care about. This might be another instance of "terminally online person being offended on someone else's behalf"
