I'm just chilling and getting comfy. then I'll start contributing after I feel out the vibe here.

This comment is my first contribution to the platform. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing yet, but I'll figure it out.

My worry is that I only started a year or so ago on that other platform, and most of my contributions are comments and some photos when I can get my garbage podunk internet to let me upload the latest smoked meat or garden haul. I don't think I'm a "laying the groundwork" type of user, honestly. If there are any guides or walkthrough on navigating instances and whatnot, I'm all eyes.

I already reeeeeally miss a couple wonderful communities. But I want the best versions of them here, if at all. I'd love to help expand this place.

I guess there could be worse first comments for an account.

ETA: spelling is hard.

While I only lurked on reddit, looking forward to a fresh start without all the bots. Planning to start contributing and focus more on hobbies than doomscrolling and nonsense

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.

Well see it this way , when more people join the more is attractive to companies and they will definitely figure how to ruined it. The best example is email , it was federated but if you run your email server they dont like you.

You can't tell me what to do! (Wait...)

Would it be a good idea to cross post large amounts of old Reddit content?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Bring the content over, delete the reddit post, repost to reddit with the fediverse link

I was looking for a reddit alternative that was similar to how mastodon works and found lemmy. I don't like mastodon very much, but I thought the mastodon concept works much better when you have smaller communities decentralized over multiple instances. Kind of like all those bb-forums back in the day, but through a single interface/client.

So naturally, I do like Lemmy but it still kind of has the same problems I have with Mastodon. I want to go into detail in a full post at a later time, but in general it comes down to the user experience not being great. I have quite a lot of ideas for improvements

It will come naturally after api change is done. Yesterday we had a chance to testdrive new user influx before the bigger wave after 3rd party apps are cut. Let's see how many users are going to endure reddit's native app.

I'll post when I have something worthwhile to post. Lemmy should go for quality over volume.

Don't tell me what to do! Heheheheh

@GatoB I'm trying to make the best effort I can, I started a London community at feddit.uk/c/london and been making content for it and cross posting whatever I come across that could work there. So far I gotten around roughly 50 subscribers and some engagement in my posts. I'm reaching out for engagement so if you want to join in and make this something I'd really appreciate it.

... Or if you want to lurk I'm good with that too, I'd appreciate the eyes more then anything at this point.

Where can I start my own community? There's some things I want but I dont wnat to host my own instance.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

At the top of the page there is a Create community button

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I'll probably get around to making some of the communities that I miss. I don't know that I have time to moderate, so it's still up in the air.
