I try but I rarely post. I did seem to kinda revive the !beeandpuppycat@lemm.ee community so that's dope. I hope people keep posting there.

Totally agree, we need to build for the long term. Engagement has power.
Hi people!
Heya! :)
Long time no see, Lemmy. I hope Reddit ending is for the best, and I hope all my precious communities migrate to open source software.
but i don't have anything to say
other than fuck spez of course
Always a bad sign when one of the top comments is trying to compel users to engage.
This is kinda exciting ngl
I really, really hope the open internet takes off again
I wonder if it wouldn't be wise to try and emulate some of the easier/more participatable subreddits here. Askreddit theads for instance are a big pull (even if they tend to be. well, redditors post on them use your imagination).
A lot of the subs are already up and running (HydroHomies, CasualUK, Solarpunk, Guitars, 196, FuckCars, etc) under their old names, some with variations. When you search the entirety of Lemmy, give it a moment because it takes a few seconds to retrieve.
You can subscribe/unsubscribe with reckless abandon!
(And search your favorites often, there is a steady flow of new communities being created right now.)
I think there already is an asklemmy on lemmy.ml
Trying my best! I have an account on lemmy.ml but with the increase in traffic I’m barely able to use it! Moving to this one which has already helped. Anyone reading this feel free to send a message and say hi!
There is no engagement algorithm; it's us :)
I don't mean am engagement algorithm, I mean engagement as in content to engage with. No one is going to want to move to lemmy of they come here and it looks like there isn't anything going on
I lurk most of the time because most of the time i have nothing to say
Me not lurking
Oh, that’s interesting, the reply box is all the way down here. I’ll see what I can do here as far as activity goes, I don’t know what fediverse is but it sounds like something worth taking part in.
You're right, I'll try. I enjoy reading, but often get overwhelmed with trying to respond, so I end up just giving up and not finishing my
Do we get any benefit from hosting our own Lemmy server? I am a tech nerd and love new IT projects. Sorry if this is off topic, please redirect me someplace else if there is a better thread to ask my question in.
The main benefit is being in total control of your experience on lemmy
If you're on someone else's server, you don't really have any control of federation, and your instance admins could just decide to defederate some instance that you enjoy seeing content from without your say. Similarly you may want to defederate from an instance, but on a public server you'd have to appeal to the admins to do so for the entire server.
Other than that it's mainly a "because it's cool" thing
test post please don't ignore
Ok here's a meme that is unrelated to anything we're discussing but always cracks me up:
Interesting comment here, please upvote
Ehm.. OK? Gosh, this is hard.
Lemmy sprawls thanks to his dislike of Reddit's new rules. This is both a virtue and a problem at the same time. Reading 1,000 "Reddit is about to fall apart" posts or copies of old Reddit posts is quite tedious. Oh yeah, there's also the defederation announcements, it's even more tedious to read that nonsense. Guys, you have not had time to consolidate, and already arranging a rant.
I feel personally attacked! I will not tolerate this, and I will do the one thing no lurker would ever think of under normal circumstances!
