Switching from a consumer to a creator: I realized that if I want more people to engage w/ content, I have to be the change I want to see. I interact w/ content more regularly as a result
Update settings so that 'Sort Type = New': There isn't as much content as Reddit just yet, and so the default 'sort by active' threads results in seeing the same threads for too long in many communities. Changing my view to 'new' highlighted new content more clearly, and seeing others make the effort to create new conversations encouraged me to try to comment on their content.
Try the desktop/mobile/app versions: The experiences are different across the multiple platforms. Find out which one works best for your workflow

As long as it's worse than the Bears, I'm a happy camper.

It's a great read but a lot to books! Enjoy!

From Chicago. I made the plunge to Mastodon (and here) after the Reddit shenanigans and just seeing the repeated bad-faith policies by Twitter. I have been using redirector and libredirect for the last month or two to actively decide who I give my data to just as a fun experiment into best practices.

I think it's slowly starting to be clear that this type of setup will be the way forward for the more tech-savvy, privacy-focused users, and hopefully/eventually it hits the mainstream as well, but otherwise, it's just self-selecting into the type of people I want to be around, which will probably be better for my mental health anyways.

I'm into cycling, trading, sci-fi and FOSS. Currently reading The Expanse and taking a sabbatical year from work

Edit: Just want to encourage people to engage w/ and create content over the next few weeks. Activity and friendly faces are probably the most determining factor in whether someone becomes an active user or just browses for a few minutes
