Be the change you want to see!

[-] Trekman10@sh.itjust.works 62 points 10 months ago

Precisely! I try to comment and post partly for the purpose of generating activity

[-] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 34 points 10 months ago

Me too. I'm doing my part!

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 21 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The great thing (though it's sometimes a curse) is that posts in any community will show up in the local and all feeds on the host instance, and the all feed on remote instances so long as at least one user is subscribed. So even communities with low subscribers can reach a wide audience.

[-] Micromot@feddit.de 11 points 10 months ago

Which also gives the all page it's purpose in some form because it does exactly what promised, show everything. This gives everyone a chance at being seen

In my experience, a lot of these subs aren't abandoned and have plenty of subscribers, so if you post, people will jump on it.

[-] null@slrpnk.net 59 points 10 months ago

Can confirm I'm sitting in many communities waiting for content, and always delighted to see it.

If I was interesting, maybe I'd make some of my own.

[-] shadowSprite@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Agreed! I'm a boring person (that's why I'm on social media)

[-] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I just uploaded a pic of my portable CD player from 1990 to a community for CD collectors. Nobody had uploaded in a couple months and the only person who had ever uploaded was the creator.

It proceeded to get quadruple the upvotes of the last post. People are there. You just have to share what you've got.

[-] Windex007@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

Now this is the inspirational content I want to see out of The_Picard_Maneuver

There's no better feeling than making a post to a dead community, and then suddenly tons of posts start flooding in lol.

[-] Trekman10@sh.itjust.works 46 points 10 months ago

I actively try to post when I see this happen.

What communities are you experiencing this with? Maybe we share some interests.

[-] nodimetotie@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago

My favs from Reddit were "Data is beautiful," "Next fucking level," "Life pro tips," maybe their more active alternatives exist on Lemmy under some other names?

[-] seitanic 7 points 10 months ago

I know the other two, but what's "next fucking level"? Just crazy, over-the-top shit?

For me it's disc golf.

Funny animals.

Trackers.

A lot of the OC nsfw subs aren't nearly as active yet, especially if they're more niche.

MMA.

[-] xintrik@lemm.ee 12 points 10 months ago

I'm holding out for ButtSharpies, not really the change I want to be in the world though.

So you make a post, right?

Right?

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 38 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Me: single handedly keeping 9 communities alive

...

I need help

Hey, I see u doin numbers, too!

[-] Nepenthe@kbin.social 14 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Oh, you're the lifeblood of @gameart, aren't you? I tried to contribute once, but then my favorite screenshot I ever took never even federated at all and I got too discouraged.

Still sad about it, tbh. No idea if it would happen again or not. I should dig through my folders again. I don't think I have much, but I must have something

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I am! If you have screenshots to share !photomode@feddit.uk is a great place, too!

[-] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 36 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I really wish the !tipofmytongue@lemmy.world community grows here on Lemmy. It was my all time favorite subreddit. No fighting, no toxicity, it's just straight up:

"I forgot this thing"

"You mean THIS thing?"

"Yeah! That thing!"

Everybody wins.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago

Hey I got c/goblincore going again singlehandedly. Post! People will participate.

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

I love that place, it’s so soothing.

We gotta get niche communities that aren't just programmers and socialists... I'm a socialist, but I wanna talk to some people about how Porygon is one of the greatest Pokemon of all tiem.

[-] Daryl76679@lemmy.ml 8 points 10 months ago

We have the science folks over and mander.xyz and slrpnk.net. Lemmy.world also seems like a very diverse instance to star whatever you want on

Subreddit? More like Sublemmy

[-] original_reader@lemm.ee 20 points 10 months ago

Actually "communities". But terminology really is beside the point here.

give it time, people will come to their favorite instances with time. The best thing you can do is make your own posts to your favorite subs and cross post posts you see to other subs they fit into as well.

I was so excited to find a scuba group.

Then it just kinda went nowhere.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 25 points 10 months ago

I feel like a "sinking" pun was right there.

On one hand, it's a great sigh of relief to not see so many communities contaminated with shallow interactions that are harbored by typical Redditquette behavior.

The other hand, it's depressing to see so much wasted potential. I mean, there was supposed to have been a big revolution, wasn't there? The fediverse did gain a large chunk of users. But, most of the time, it was treated like a temporary vacation resort or some airbnb to most users that are "so tired" of reddit. No, they were only tired of reddit because it was both the cool thing to do and it was for a short period.

But they can't escape the crack, they know it is addicting. The karma farming. The alt-account abuse. The drama. No, they want it all back and can't fathom a part of social media where none of that is existent, save for a bare minimum. Hell, millions of people still somehow use Twitter today even though Musk has done a wonderous job taking a daily dump on it.

People really are afraid of change.

I feel a lot more contributory towards other platforms not Reddit. On Reddit, I just feel like I just say things until I hit walls. Those walls being, being confronted by shithead mods, dumbass trolls or feeling claustrophobic from where I can post because of the karma.

[-] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 8 points 10 months ago

Yeah, the reddit "protest" died pretty quickly and now its all but forgotten

Sad !anime noises... I miss episode discussions.

[-] Keegen@kbin.social 9 points 10 months ago

FYI the episode discussions on anime@lemmy.ml are automated by a bot (the same used on Reddit in fact) and us Kbin users can't see bot posts, so it looks like there are none. I have high hopes that the next big Kbin update remedies this issue.

I'm hoping I'm able to stick with the community I made, even if it never gets anywhere. It feels nice to be working on some kind of project. I need new ideas for content, though. I doubt scanning RSS feeds for relevant articles every day is gonna keep things interesting.

Sometimes it feels like I'm writing a journal entry for myself because no one else posts.

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

This might go slightly against the spirit of Lemmy, but for subreddits that act like a content feed where losing comments isn't a problem, I've created a reposter bot to mirror subreddits on Lemmy.

It has proven quite popular on !100yearsago@sh.itjust.works . If anyone wants me to mirror a similar sub just drop me a comment

Or all it is a bot that reposts reddit posts with no comments
