I’m doing my part!

No posts yet, but I think I've already commented more here in a few days than my last 5 years on Reddit.

My content is pretty shit, but I'll glady support and comment on you more interesting folks' stuff!

Fine. But only long until it gains adoption. Then it's back to the shadows.

I'm trying to comment more often, but I have anxiety issues. Baby steps.

Ive been doing just that, decided to go in at the deep end and make my own Digital Art community, its fun watching it grow, its already coming up on 100 subscribers, and i plan on openeing up submissions at around 200 subs since then people will have a decent size community to see the posts.

It seems the world is indeed what we make of it. Join us!

Finally found an instance that could handle the traffic.

Well i had an account just to lurk on reddit, but like anything else in life things eventually come to an end. I don't know what kind of content can be easily imported here. Years ago, i would post about a variety of things, but recently the content that i see is much less varied than it was, so posting has become less interesting. Guess searching stuff on google earth is just as fun as it was than instead. It's interesting to see all this activity without gpt-fied comments tho

I've been a lurker on reddit for the most part and it seems easier to talk on Lemmy. I guess because it's a smaller community, or because your instance feels a little more private.

You're not the boss of me. Lurking has been a tried and true past time of link aggregators since time immemorial. If this community can't function without lurkers, it's DOA.

I'm not much of a content creator... But I love following contents creators... Am I useful?

I lurk therefore I am.

I have a broad question. Forgive me if it's dumb as I am not super technically savvy.

Is there a way to put a massive set of common image memes into a pool we can pick from and just have something point to that image? I keep reading that storage space is quickly going to be an issue for instances, and that seems like a good way to reduce some data.

I've been lurking on Reddit for years now but now that I've switched to Lemmy, I'll probably participate in discussions more. Plus, the vibe is so much more positive and welcoming here than on Reddit!

I made two communities, they are niche for sure, but I'm doing my part lol

Don't tell me how to Lemmy...

I mean you're right.

I see a bunch of "community squatting" - people creating communities but not contributing, hoping it'll take off.

As good etiquette, I'd suggest that if you create a community, try to post something yourself!

I think we stand a chance of bringing over the best parts of reddit while leaving behind all the negative aspects, I think a lot of people who lurked before (myself included, <4000 karma after 10 years) will be much more willing to engage here.

I’ve been participating a lot more here because it feels like my contributions have more impact than they did on Reddit.

I lurked on reddit but uh I'll make an attempt to post more

I gotta stop lurking...

I was mostly a lurker at reddit, but I'll definitely try to be more active here, especially in this early phase of migrating away from reddit

I enjoy writing comments, but not so much making posts. Does this make me a "partial" lurker?

As a lurker I agree

Posting to unlurk myself. It's... haaard to kick the habit.

I'm working on it, but I'm trying to refrain from making dozens of posts on a community I created. However, I'd have no problems doing so.

If we comment even when we have nothing to say we end up with comments like 'this'
