On one hand yeah! But on the other, I'm not fully sure we want the Reddit chain of comments that add nothing to the conversation?

You aren't entirely wrong, but I feel it could help build an appearance of high activity, which would help attract people. Also; many people wish to contribute but stifle the words before they can come out of their mouth, and I'm hoping a post like this could be the push they needed.
It's a fair call, I think I'll push send more often from now on!
Honestly half the reason I don't post these days is more not wanting to feed LLMs/dox myself further, but that's a whole other can of worms

100%! Been doing it for a year.
Also, I find a nice way to fill my feed is to liberally subscribe to communities on Lemmy. I'm currently subscribed to 133. I set my feed to Subscribed+Scaled and that works incredibly well to show me what I care about. Then when I get bored, I flip to All+TopDay to get what I missed that day.
This is what I'm doing! Subscribe to anything and everything I might even have the smallest interest in

I’ve started explaining this to non-techies. Hopefully starting to gain a little traction as the meta/ticktock machine becomes more and more egregious. Also this is speeding up the homelab I’m building.
I’d add the appropriate meme but I’m new here.
I’m doing my part .gif
Ok!
is there a search function in Lemmy to search for posts? is it indexed and does it show up in search engine results?
if yes, that might help a lot with getting traffic

press send on that post that you felt wasn't of enough substance to be worth anyone's time.
I feel like you vastly underestimate the amount of subpar shitposts I'm capable of composing (and then thinking better of) in a given day.
Not using other social media annymore. Lemmy was my first introduction to the fediverse. Now I am also using Mastodon and experiment with a hubzilla hub on my homeserver.
Hear, hear!
I did start a community for 3d (3dee), dropshipping (dropshipping lol), and chairs (deskchairs) since those were some communities I used on reddit that I didn't see here. Made a general one for 3d since its still small here and spreading the programs out means less visibility and posts on each community imo. Haven't posted yet and neither has anyone else tho.
For 3d, there is !blender@lemmy.world
You might want to have a look at !fedigrow@lemm.ee, it's a community for people who build communities

What iphone apps do yall use? Rnow I'm using loops for the tiktokclond (hoping more creators join and post there) and mlem for lemmy (liking it more than voyager, arctic seems cleaner but I got used to this interface). Does anyone have a good mastadon app they reccomend? I'm using bluesky since getting an okay feed was easier there, not sure if thats the apps fault. I do like an algorithim just not one based on controversy.
