I noticed that a lot of the posts on Lemmy are news, memes, and interesting discussions. I like the regular flow of content we have, and I find a lot of it engaging.

However, maybe it's just me, but I haven't seen a lot of people sharing projects that they personally worked on, be it art, games, programs, music, etc. I've been working on a programming project for a year now, and I've thought about sharing it on Lemmy to see what people think of it, but the lack of projects from other people deters me. My imposter syndrome also kicks into high gear and tells me that my creations just aren't good enough to be on Lemmy, and I shouldn't taint people's feeds with my mediocre endeavors; after all, I and plenty of other people are enjoying the content here as-is.

So, I'm interested to hear about others' perspectives: Would you like to see more user-created projects and art, or would you prefer to primarily see more news and focused discussions instead?

I think the main reason lemmy is mostly news, memes and discussion atm is that thats something everyone can do/ participate in. And since there arent that many users right now, thats what most content is.

Though I for one would be very happy to see such projects: self-made art, music, crafting, cooking, whatever else people are up to. And I dont think im alone in that
