We can make this a great interesting place and more people will join
I’d also like to post more but worry that I’m being narcissistic…Not everyone likes my weirdly-tuned ukulele music.
I don’t lurk just to lurk, I just have nothing to say most of the time. Still waiting on the niche reddit communities I was a part of to make it here, if they ever do.
Be the change you want to see! In one week I’ve made more comments on here than the last two years on Reddit. If the communities you want don’t exist, start them up and post the type of content you’d like to see.

I have been trying to upping my game from Liking to Commenting. Still didn’t have Idea to post though, lol…
I lurked reddit for years before I made my first comment. Some of the larger subreddits still feel so hostile I rarely posted on them. Enjoying the feel of this place though.
Yeah I feel this place has more of a community vibe than reddit.
I don’t even know how to post yet. Is the URL field the community or Instance? I assume it’s the community because all posts would go into whatever instance you’re on…
I wish they had a drop down of at least the communities your subscribed to.
If we comment even when we have nothing to say we end up with comments like ‘this’
pretty much.
this
That
These
those
that
The other thing.
yep
me too
yep
Yep
I’m doing my part!
👀 if we just make content about saying that we should make content does it count as actual content?
That, and please stop talking about reddit so much, dear god. My feed is filled with reddit news, rather than the respective topics of each community I’m subscribed to.
I couldn’t agree more. I understand a lot of us moved here from reddit, myself included, but I think we have to stop talking about it so much.
Is there a way for people to express interest in new communities, and for people to help set them up and circulate when it’s there?
I know it doesn’t exactly seem hard, but it’s enough of a barrier for someone who’s already feeling hesitant.
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
Im right there with you. Trying to be a little more “vocal” here
me too (: apes together strong!
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.
It feels they way to me already. I think assholes are more likely to stay on reddit tbh. Lol
But if my asshole stays on reddit, then how will I get reddit out of my system?
Just like Twitter > Mastodon. Mastodon is so much more friendly and the engagement with people I actually value the opinions of is stupid high. Love it!
@QuarterSwede @MiddleWeigh And the cool thing is: Mastodon and Lemmy are interoperable because they’re both implement ActivityPub!
Absolutely. This feels so much better. Hopefully we dont mess it up as it grows.
Let’s also stop making self aware posts, and do memes and stuff. :)
Yeah, the last thing we need is for Lemmy to be only about Reddit
I knew my 200gbs of memes only me and my brother find funny would come in handy!
We need accessibility first, honestly the site is kinda confusing and acts weirdly on mobile and the official app is the same, both of these two need to use simple design, the android app is focusing on material you theme but most of the people here I believe the want usability rather than asthetic, I know it’s free and hard work that I’m criticising, but we simple users need to build and make the communities better while the developers working on the site and the accessibilities, together we will break the chain of proprietary.
Yes
Reddit-lurker for 9 years. Starting off with a comment event before understanding how this thing works. The sky is the limit from here on!
