I got a buncha communities setup though I'm still debating on the best way to share em, since obviously don't wanna go all on the self promotion stuff and all, but engagement always helps out.

There's one thing i need to know before trying to make content here. Does this platform have any showstopping issues? Mastodon has one where you can't view older content from other instances without going to that instance first. On mobile you can't even do that. If there's something like that here then I don't have much reason to go all in yet.

I'll try my best to post, however, on reddit, I was usually a lurker who never ever posted. Only commented. (Sometimes)

I think I saw some thread requesting ideas for new communities. I just can't find it again, but it's a great idea.

Less experienced users could just comment what they need and more experienced users could create the communities for the most upvoted ideas and thereby having a userbase from the beginning.

But that's so much work

I agree- but, I really wish some of these bugs were ironed out.

If, I was not getting random errors popping up every few minutes, and tons of latency, I would be much more willing to start putting a lot more content here.

Also, still learning how the federated communities works...

I've been tryna make c/football pretty active by posting transfer news haha, used to just read what other people sent instead of going to Twitter myself but now...

hi

Agreed, I tried to use lemmygrad.ml when my reddit account got banned before but I eventually went back to reddit because there wasn't much activity. I hope people stay and continue adding content.

Sadly I'm really busy with uni right now, but it seems like a good site to spend time with. More like a 2014 and earlier organic kind of spend time rather than a modern algorithm sickness kind of spend time. I'm actively participating in whatever seems interesting.

ads are terrible lurker candy. some are just scrolling ads. they will miss them telling them what to do
