Lemmy

I've created 3 communities in 24 hours, I think that's enough for now. ;)

We also need more mobile clients like this one

The body is willing

Same problem Mastodon had, the content consumers joined, but the content creators didn't, so there was nothing on the platform to engage with.

And let's be real, Lemmy is going to face the same fate when inevitably the Reddit protest ends in a couple days and everyone goes back to Reddit. Reddit is going to survive.

I'm trying to create a community, but the 'create' button just turns into a spinning circle, and nothing happens. I've left that tab open for more than an hour.

So insteat, here's my first comment.

I suppose. But only for a bit

It can be tough sometimes, but find those communities you already love and say something - even a little thing is engagement!

Based on my experiences on Reddit, I've honestly found that voting is not just incredibly easy¹, but also something that at least I found myself engaging with when I didn't want to write a comment myself LOL

¹ due to the very local results of votes in this kind of format, it doesn't have the same feel as, say, a thumbs up on YouTube (and I very rarely engage with thumbs up etc as a result there), if that makes sense? Like, it's limited to that particular level of the conversation

Me not lurking

Yeah, used to lurk on reddit but will definitely post more here! using this post to test out how commenting works here :)

There is no engagement algorithm; it's us :)

Hello everyone

Lurking is the part!

After years of lurking it’s still hard to break the habit. But I’m really liking this fediverse and will push myself to become more engaged.
