Shit, they're standing right behind me, aren't they...
What the hell am I supposed to post? Where do you think I get content?
You are suppose to post about future Oscar winning movie, Barbie, silly!
Same thing here: as much as I wouldn't mind to post, I just don't know what !!
Find anything, really. Look at your interests and hobbies and share your experiences with those.
I'm sharing photos I take in multiple communities: cats, aww, toads, birding, etc. I also periodically comment in the communities I'm subbed to so others have things to reply to.
Be the change you want to see in your community.
Where am I gonna post? One of the 12 meme communities that make up 99% of posts, or one of the 12,000 communities where the last post was four months ago and it had two comments, one of which was a bot summary?
Are you complaining about the niche communities not having any activity, but not posting anything there yourself? I could've sworn i saw a meme about just such a thing, if only i could find it.
But in all seriousness, most "dead" communities have many lurkers that are joined but not posting, so posting there isn't necessarily a waste of time
Exactly. Look at my post history for example. I've posted to some larger communities like Cats, but also to smaller ones like toads, mushrooms, and mycology to try to breathe life into them or to keep them alive.
If you want to see more content in certain areas, be the change you want to see in the Lemmy.
The fact is that if you arent into Linux, piracy, shitting on Elon or communism a lot of Lemmy is pretty shit.
I was super active on Reddit in a lot of communities that are just straight up wastelands here.

You can go to one of the 120 linux communities to brag about your arch desktop rice!
I personally am 99% of the posts in one of said niche communities. Plants won't grow if you don't put effort into growing them, why would communities?

Pff, I'll have you know that I created a single post in the past 5 months. I'm doing my part!
Yeah... You're doing your part. Your part to the power of .05! HA!! GOT'EEEM!
Hahahaha. But seriously, I get it. Finding good/great content isn't that easy. But that's one of the best things we can do as an instance collective. Commenting adds to the discussion and can also enrich the posted content as well.

It's amazing how many of those posters have zero posting history. Comments or posts.

Oy! I'll have you know, I'm a professional leech.
4 posts. You got me beat!
Maybe the default mode for new users should be top-6h. I've been using it for a while now and the flow of content is perfect.
Oh man did not realize Liftoff had a setting for this. Top 6h default activated.
Sometimes I'm the only one posting in some smaller communities. I looked back one day and was like, shit those are all from me.
I'm in danger !
I don’t post. I didn’t post on Reddit and I’m very likely not going to start posting now.
I’m simply just not interested in making posts and won’t bother
It's like saying: don't like the current Hollywood movies? Why dont YOU make Hollywood movies. Im here to watch not to create.
You wouldn't like my content anyway
I'm going to keep posting this everywhere it's relevant: if you downvote oc, you are discouraging more people from posting.
sorry. but at least I don't complain. I love this place and it's people as they are and never going back to reddit.
Dunno what to post. Got nothing really interesting going on in my life
Just post about what you find interesting and try to put a funny spin on it. I've made posts about all sorts of topics/cultures that I'm genuinely curious about whenever I make an observation that I think could make people chuckle.
Listen, I had a good streak of star trek memes until my life became pure chaos
What band is this?
I'm not so much a posting type of guy as I'm a commenting type of guy. Does this count?
I'm a fairly prolific poster. At least commenter. I started a community here for a subreddit I miss. I've even got 97 subscribers. Three of us post anything, and I am by-far the most active of those three. I highly suspect that's an expected ratio of lurkers to posters. Meaning, if I want a reasonable number of engagement, I need to get like thirty times as many subscribers. I can't see that happening any time soon unless Reddit actually collapses.

Because it's like a dozen fucking people who post 90% of the content. I blocked like, I dunno -- 20 people, and it took care of MOST of the weird ass fetish stuff popping up in my feed, leaving the odd cutie here or there.
I'd rather have a severe lack of farmed content, for a lot more genuine posts. Regardless of if it's "dead" or not. If I see users with like 20k post points, and 100 comment points, I block them.
If there was a way to automatically do this (only show content from users with a certain ratio of posts to comments), I would.
So if you post content and never comment you should be blocked? Weird way of operating.

You can post a fuckton and still be "geniue" like most of my shitposting is shit I see on Instagram. The fact of the matter is if there was no content then this site would go dead. And then you'd leave. Do you see the catch 22 of your attitude? Honestly, you seem like a extremely pretentious person. The kind of person that just looks for a vague idea of perfection and lives in a perpetual state of disappointment when nothing matches it.

Oh hey Balderdash, good to see your posts again :D
You're a real one Exusia 🫡
I try my best :)
i don't post much.. i make a comment every now and then, but i enjoy reading what the posters put out there. not everything has to be plenty for me to enjoy, nor does it have to be like reddit, facebook, twitter, etc. but i get it.
posting takes effort.
I dont want to make effort.
I just want to shit on other peoples effort. /internet
Why did they lean forward?
