Precisely! I try to comment and post partly for the purpose of generating activity
Me too. I’m doing my part!
Content!
Somewhat but I could be happier.
The great thing (though it’s sometimes a curse) is that posts in any community will show up in the local and all feeds on the host instance, and the all feed on remote instances so long as at least one user is subscribed. So even communities with low subscribers can reach a wide audience.
Which also gives the all page it’s purpose in some form because it does exactly what promised, show everything. This gives everyone a chance at being seen
Commenting for the purpose of generating activity is my favorite activity
I want to see reddit mods “expanding” their subs to Lemmy. I’m making a new reddit account expressly for subtly shifting people here. Make friends and invite people to specific servers. Skip the server that overloads some people and just send them to lemm.ee, programming.dev, ani.social, etc…
In my experience, a lot of these subs aren’t abandoned and have plenty of subscribers, so if you post, people will jump on it.
Can confirm I’m sitting in many communities waiting for content, and always delighted to see it.
If I was interesting, maybe I’d make some of my own.
Agreed! I’m a boring person (that’s why I’m on social media)
I just uploaded a pic of my portable CD player from 1990 to a community for CD collectors. Nobody had uploaded in a couple months and the only person who had ever uploaded was the creator.
It proceeded to get quadruple the upvotes of the last post. People are there. You just have to share what you’ve got.
Now this is the inspirational content I want to see out of The_Picard_Maneuver
Or if an otherwise popular community seems dead- maybe your instance just isn’t federating them right, or was never federated before you browsed to it.
Duplicate comment
Thanks, deleted the other.
My app (or instance?) has been acting a little buggy today.
That’s what I’ve been doing at czech-lemmy.eu and it isn’t growing :( Czechs seem to be comfortable with Reddit.
Did the same with !dota2@lemmy.ml and same situation :) but it doesn’t matter, I’ve met some great people there :)
I’ve noticed that there’s only a small percentage of overall people that I think have the “right” views about the world, and it’s totally fine that it’s only 1% of all people or whatever. As long as there’s one other person I think it’s all worth it, but in reality, there are likely millions, just hard to find them under billions.
I feel your pain. I’ve subbed to the czech-lemmy communities btw
I know, you’re probably Czech because you replied to my post in perfect Czech. Do you think your Reddit repost bot, while not 100% ethical, could help boost that community?
To be honest, Reddit’s practices are even less ethical (process known as enshittification so I don’t really care if we break their TOS. Too bad they don’t allow direct i.redd.it image linking anymore, it was annoying even before I left it.
Hmm, I think the bot works well for subs that are mainly a content feed so losing the comments isn’t a big deal (like eg. r/EarthPorn). But with r/Czech there is quite a lot of discussion so I’m not sure if reposting just the posts and losing the comments makes sense. I really don’t gaf about Reddot’s TOS, the thing I was ethically unsure about was if flooding Lemmy with Reddit reposts (ie. creating ‘fake activity’) wouldn’t be detrimental. But with !100yearsago@sh.itjust.works it seems to be going well.
Also yes I am Czech (I can also speak a bit of German like you do).
going outside
they’re the one who won’t leave reddit
There’s no better feeling than making a post to a dead community, and then suddenly tons of posts start flooding in lol.
I actively try to post when I see this happen.
What communities are you experiencing this with? Maybe we share some interests.
My favs from Reddit were “Data is beautiful,” “Next fucking level,” “Life pro tips,” maybe their more active alternatives exist on Lemmy under some other names?
I know the other two, but what’s “next fucking level”? Just crazy, over-the-top shit?
Not even, on reddit it’s just reposts of cool but rehearsed tricks.
For me it’s disc golf.
Funny animals.
Trackers.
A lot of the OC nsfw subs aren’t nearly as active yet, especially if they’re more niche.
MMA.
I’m holding out for ButtSharpies, not really the change I want to be in the world though.
That sounds like quiter talk
Unless you had a previous account, I definitely saw someone else complaining about the lack of active disc golf communities recently. Hope you find each other and talk about disc golf.
What mma community are you watching? I want to find a place to talk about mma
Kbin is somewhat active, particularly on fight nights
I only know of !mma@lemmy.ml
!mma@kbin.social is much more active
!mma@kbin.social is much more active
That’s what I’ve been doing at czech-lemmy.eu and it isn’t growing :( Czechs seem to be comfortable with Reddit.
How bout your friends or Czech spaces elsewhere on the Fediverse?
Just trying to be helpful and optimistic
your friends
I don’t have friends. I’m a Lemming (former Redditor), after all.
elsewhere on the Fediverse
Good point.
There’s !czech@kbin.social but federation with Lemmy does not really work at this point.
There are several Mastodon instances like witter.cz which are reasonably alive but I prefer Reddit-style social media. I might need to compromise on this, though.
Hive and Dread have been suggested but I can’t imagine the crypro-heavy or dark web platforms attracting a meaningful crowd.
be the change you wish to see!
So you make a post, right?
Right?
Me: single handedly keeping 9 communities alive

I need help

Hey, I see u doin numbers, too!
Oh, you’re the lifeblood of @gameart, aren’t you? I tried to contribute once, but then my favorite screenshot I ever took never even federated at all and I got too discouraged.
Still sad about it, tbh. No idea if it would happen again or not. I should dig through my folders again. I don’t think I have much, but I must have something
I am! If you have screenshots to share !photomode@feddit.uk is a great place, too!
I really wish the !tipofmytongue@lemmy.world community grows here on Lemmy. It was my all time favorite subreddit. No fighting, no toxicity, it’s just straight up:
“I forgot this thing”
“You mean THIS thing?”
“Yeah! That thing!”
Everybody wins.
Please link it
Edited my original post
Thanks!
True. They helped me a few times and I’m very impressed
Subbed!
Hey I got c/goblincore going again singlehandedly. Post! People will participate.
I love that place, it’s so soothing.
I absolutely love it! Want to see all the nuts I’ve harvested lately? Because, nuts.
I’m not interesting enough to post…
!goblincore@lemmy.blahaj.zone
This is how you link to communities
We gotta get niche communities that aren’t just programmers and socialists… I’m a socialist, but I wanna talk to some people about how Porygon is one of the greatest Pokemon of all tiem.
We have the science folks over and mander.xyz and slrpnk.net. Lemmy.world also seems like a very diverse instance to star whatever you want on
Oh cool, where do I find the spirituality folks? Cause I have this on-off relationship with God that I should probably get a definitive on or off answer to. I mean at this point I’m worried I"m making the coupling toxic with this indecisiveness, ya dig?
It depends on what you’re looking for but it seems like they hang out on general servers like lemmy.ml or lemmy.world. The Lemmy Community Browser should help you look for any communities you want to find out more about.
Lemmy Community Browser is cool, that’s a great resource I did not know about. Thank you.
Subreddit? More like Sublemmy
Actually “communities”. But terminology really is beside the point here.
I like sublemmits lol

Did you post tho
damn it’s me every time to find a circle :^)
Your mouth floating away may or may not be related.
“We have determined that your injuries are not service related.”
I was so excited to find a scuba group.
Then it just kinda went nowhere.
I feel like a “sinking” pun was right there.
Well, it was a minute ago.
They were so close to saying “Then it just kinda went under”… so close…
Just keep breathing, it’ll be ok.
It just ran out of air.
