We can make this a great interesting place and more people will join
Hey! I’m keeping this as it’s targeted at new users from Reddit. However, in future please find another community to post this on, because it is not related to the lemmy.world instance specifically.
So you were going to remove this extremely important message for Lemmy growth only because you think it is targeted towards Lemmy users? It is targeted toward lemmy.world and Lemmy users thats why I putted it there, the message is more important than just being wrong community. The message is important. It is the second most upvoted post for a reason
Instead of locking every post and giving very bad impresion to new users can you just do a read before post and delete the NEW content that is unrelated? Everyone would apreciate that
I was mostly a lurker at reddit, but I’ll definitely try to be more active here, especially in this early phase of migrating away from reddit
Im right there with you. Trying to be a little more “vocal” here
me too (: apes together strong!
If we comment even when we have nothing to say we end up with comments like ‘this’
pretty much.
this
That
These
those
that
The other thing.
I’m doing my part!
I’d also like to post more but worry that I’m being narcissistic…Not everyone likes my weirdly-tuned ukulele music.
I don’t lurk just to lurk, I just have nothing to say most of the time. Still waiting on the niche reddit communities I was a part of to make it here, if they ever do.
Be the change you want to see! In one week I’ve made more comments on here than the last two years on Reddit. If the communities you want don’t exist, start them up and post the type of content you’d like to see.
Same here! Though, I’m also a chronic upvoter, so I hope that makes up for it.
Upvoting is also important to make the best content appear on top
Upvoting isn’t working for me. I click it, watch it change, then after about 2 seconds the upvote goes away.
I have been trying to upping my game from Liking to Commenting. Still didn’t have Idea to post though, lol…
I lurked reddit for years before I made my first comment. Some of the larger subreddits still feel so hostile I rarely posted on them. Enjoying the feel of this place though.
Yeah I feel this place has more of a community vibe than reddit.
I lurk therefore I am.
We need accessibility first, honestly the site is kinda confusing and acts weirdly on mobile and the official app is the same, both of these two need to use simple design, the android app is focusing on material you theme but most of the people here I believe the want usability rather than asthetic, I know it’s free and hard work that I’m criticising, but we simple users need to build and make the communities better while the developers working on the site and the accessibilities, together we will break the chain of proprietary.
Yes
I think we stand a chance of bringing over the best parts of reddit while leaving behind all the negative aspects, I think a lot of people who lurked before (myself included, <4000 karma after 10 years) will be much more willing to engage here.
It feels they way to me already. I think assholes are more likely to stay on reddit tbh. Lol
I’ve been participating a lot more here because it feels like my contributions have more impact than they did on Reddit.
The people here is way better than there rn
aaaaaaaaaand POST!
And… *sigh… my axe…
Is there a way for people to express interest in new communities, and for people to help set them up and circulate when it’s there?
I know it doesn’t exactly seem hard, but it’s enough of a barrier for someone who’s already feeling hesitant.
I’m here. I last commented on Reddit many moons ago but I’m here
Time for this to go back to the top.
It would be good if an admin pinned a message like this but temporary, like 1 month
