But. . . my content is terrible. . . It's like stale chips. You'll eat them if you have to but you won't enjoy it.

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

Currently I'm in the explore phase where I look left and right and find where I should put myself in, but yes of course after this phase end, I will try to contribute more!

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Just joined today but currently loving the default browser layout, will see what communities are available and start making content.

I'm yet to find a way to see memes etc. But I'm sure with the influx of people it will all come together

@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.

Don't tell me what to do! Heheheheh

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.
