So let's try this again. My last post sort of got derailed because I am an idiot and used instance instead of community.

Anyway I am here to see what's working for everyone else. I would like to help grow some of the smaller communities I am apart of and looking for ways to be helpful and interactive without straight up having to make my own video content.

I want to try and create discussion about videos that may be less main stream. Video (specifically medium- to long-form) is my preferred type of content to consume, however I don't have the ability to create my own content. !Videos@lemmy.world is great but as @kersploosh@sh.itjust.works mentioned below:

Posts that invite comments tend to get comments.

!Videos@lemmy.world doesn't directly ask for discussion on the videos posted. I created a community, !whatareyouwatching@lemmy.onlylans.io, to try to bridge this gap. The idea is that you find an interesting video, you watch it, and then you post it with your main take-away or a question you had to try and foster a discussion.

Not sure if it is working, but that's my own methodology to trying to increase engagement with content that I don't personally produce.

Also, I am running a small self-hosted instance for friends, so my name may not be as "out there" as the larger instances, but I'm pretty sure that anyone can post to this community.
