Not that it is not interesting but I would like just a tad more variety on the front page.

Edit btw for those who are wondering the two communities I started are https://lemmy.world/c/newmusic and https://kbin.social/m/musicfeedback/microblog (not sure if I have the links correct for people)

Shameless community promotion: https://lemmy.world/c/general

If you're not sure if your post will fit in another community's niche, and it's not really a shitpost (see: https://lemmy.world/c/lemmyshitpost for that!), General Discussion's got ya covered.

Yes please! The biggest downside to these places are that they won't shut up about reddit. There is almost no interesting content just post after post of people talking about reddit.

I'm doing my best to post in small communities of interest to me. Growth will take time though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

meh, I don't mind it. Add the content you want to add. Scroll on past the content you don't want to read. It's not a big deal.

I'm definitely in support of "mega-threading" anything related to the Reddit blackout unless it's big breaking news (but mega-thread those events too).

I've also started to look for communities for some of my interests, but I suspect it's going to take a while before a lot of them spread to here. There are also a bunch that I can't really start since I am primarily a consumer and not a producer (specialized topics like astrophysics that I am not a subject matter expert for).

I've been toying with the idea of starting a physics (astrophysics welcome) community over at https://normalcity.life/(my home lemmy instance) for physics academics. I'd love a community like that because it's my everyday life. Does that sound interesting? Not sure if others would be interested.

Edit: home instance clarification

Come on, the Reddit drama is juicy AF to talk about. It's why I'm here. Don't gatekeep bro.

Does anyone know how long it takes to create sign up to the lemmy.ml instance? It seems impossible right now.
