Not that it is not interesting but I would like just a tad more variety on the front page.
Edit btw for those who are wondering the two communities I started are https://lemmy.world/c/newmusic and https://kbin.social/m/musicfeedback/microblog (not sure if I have the links correct for people)
Be the change you wish to see in the world
I have , amazingly I decided to start two communities, something I have never done before despite the fact I had a 12 year badge and thousands of karma at the other place.
I tried to create a community twice now, but it just sat there spinning after I hit “Create.” I’m trying to contribute, dammit.
Yep, sometimes this is happening to me I just open another tab and often the circle spin is irrelevant and the post or whatever has already been created , seems to be a issue with the system.
It looks like there is already a community with the same name, but when I go there to subscribe, it says “removed by mod.” maybe that’s my issue. Because even when I try to open new tabs and navigate to the community I’m trying to create, it’s not working.
Check your profile to see if you mod anything
Nope, no luck. But I’ll figure it out, I’m determined. I really appreciate your help!
If you do some googleing there are some pretty good faqs out , although it did take me a while, good luck
We don’t talk about that other place
We don’t talk about steve-o!
Huff-mo?
Spezzo?
Idk. I’ll try again after more coffee.
I never posted on reddit…but luked for a very long time but I want this place to be better the reddit so bad and so…
I feel like we all just went through a breakup and all we can do is talk about our ex. We know it’s stupid, and we found someone else. But for right now, we are rebounding hard on Lemmy.
Seriously, couldn’t have said if better myself.
Shameless self promotion:
I’ve made Lemmy Scare You! https://lemmy.world/c/lemmyscareyou as an alternative to Nosleep, and Now Lemmy Explain https://lemmy.world/c/nowlemmyexplain as an alternative to ELI5. Hopefully I can make them better than the old places, and I would love if you could start contributing contents there.
Other shameless self promotion: Go watch my movies.
I appreciate those puns
And I appreciate you too!
Hope lemmy scare you blows up. I used to read no sleep every night before sleeping.
Edit: I’d suggest changing the name of the community to just “Lemmy Scare You”. Right now it’s also showing spooky stories to scare you in the title name. Also a cover art for the community would make it look more active and might result in more subs
I’ll AI some art for the community banner, really want to get the feeling of people telling scary stories to each other around a campfire vibe down.
I’m worried that changing the name to just “Lemmy Scare You!” could make it less clear about the purpose of the community as a place for creative writing, since it’s not ideal for people to post whatever a la r/creepy.
You know, I tried creating content about animal facts and nobody read it.
I’m in support of this. I was explaining to my wife just a bit ago that most of the “content” on lemmy and kbin is all about lemmy and kbin, and very little about anything else. For those of us coming from reddit, most of the content on reddit isn’t about reddit. I’d like it if lemmy and kbin was mostly original content.
c/piracy and c/sysadmin are already posting actual content
Tbh, all the subs are posting content. It’s just lemmy.world is for the discussion of the server not the c/subscriptions
Yeah, totally agree with this post, grew tired of Reddit Circle Jerk. Its like when someone cant move on with their past, so they bring it to every conversation, how their ex (Reddit) used to be, and found a new lover (Lemmy/Kbin) and how things work great with this new relationship
Let’s just forget about Reddit. Reddit can do whatever it want’s, the user that still on Reddit can also do whatever they want. Lets just focus on growing this new communities, this Fediverse, and do what we can do to make it thrive, and how to make it better for new user, and the less tech savy one
Sure, but “the past” as you refer to it was not even a week ago, and the situation is still actively unfolding.
Communities are growing, OC is being posted, and the lemmyverse is starting to get its legs underneath it. If you look past the reddit related posts you will see this happening all around you.
However most of us haven’t even been here a week, communities aren’t built overnight. Reddit has 15 years of people creating content and building out subreddits.

I couldn’t agree more with your reply. What I’m saying is, lets focus on this new journey. Reddit do have their hiccups when first generally used by its user 15 years ago, and i believe Reddit start just like how Lemmy/Kbin, or any Fediverse app start. Its a bumpy road, but its a good progress
The fact that we interact in this post means that we have the same goal, we enjoy interacting on this platform, and its a good thing. because new users can see that there’s activity, there’s interaction within Lemmy.
Sorry for bad English :D
Part of the problem may be the bugs on the Lemmy instances which have not been showing “hot” content correctly. This may be giving a false impression of an obsession over reddit as posts are stuck on the front page?
I’ve been browsing a few different communities and am finding things are active, they’re just not reaching the default Lemmy front pages. Sorting by new or diving deeper into communities shows a lot of new content.
For example I’m currently browsing from Feddit.uk and this seems to have exploded into an active community in just a week; it’s really heartening to seen. I’ve also seen different content when viewing from Kbin based instances like Kbin.Social or Fedia.io (including from Lemmy.world).
But I’m a boring lurker
Here’s the thing, for this to work out we need the long game. Doesn’t matter if you’re boring, you know about at least one topic you care about. Make an effort to post once a day about it. You may even have to create the community for you to do that. Pace yourself, this is a marathon, not a sprint. Just remember this can’t be taken away from us. Not anymore.
Just type out whatever thoughts you have, nobody’s judging!
That got me banned pretty fast(1 hour) in lemmygrad.
@paciencia @dystop sounds like a net positive
+1

Then post some interesting content. Posts like this aren’t helpful
I just posted a cat hunting it’s own tail here. I’m doing my part!
Well they are encouraging to a degree but please next one of “these” maybe next week? Meta complaints are really drag if they’re repeated over and over again.
Does stealing memes from discord servers and posting them here count? Asking for a friend…
Only if they’re good
Everything I see on Discord that I think is funny or interesting goes to lemmy. I’m a discord repost bot.
Good bot
The content must flow
LOL
I’m tired of the Reddit and fed drama. Ready to move on.
We can do both :) .
I’d like to complain about reddit for at least another month, thank you.
Eh, let people get it out of their system. It’s gonna be that way for the next month or so anyway since there will be a new influx of users in July when the 3PAs stop working.
This is why I posted, I really think we need to concentrate on unique content now so when the next influx comes we not all naval gazing
Reddits success was due to the genuineness of conversations. You’d have celebs hop on and not their pr person and engage in meaningful conversation, you’d have amas from unexpected professions and give unknown details about it.
You’d have full rage comics that fit a certain mold and lolcat memes.
hey its me ur celebrity.
We are making content…we’re just also talking about reddit sometimes. Sort by All.
I’ve sorted by all (and local), but posts are the same as yesterday. I’m not sure if it’s Jerboa or I’m doing something wrong, I’m still trying to get my head around the multiple instances thing.
As opposed to Reddit, Relay still works and I still see content despite unsubbing from many groups that are rioting (one can only see that many John Oliver photos).
Just feels like Lemmy isn’t as vibrant as Reddit yet. Here’s hoping.
I think in terms of link aggregation, there is going to be a fair amount of duplication necessary to get a critical mass of links/content here, that people can interact with. After all, 1% post, 9% comment, 90% lurk.
I’m not suggesting we automate it, but in order to kickstart some communities I’m certainly going to be copying links from some good subs on reddit (if they’re open) over here. After all they’re just links to other articles/media/etc, they’re not exclusive to reddit.
It would be good if everyone who comes over here and subscribes to some communities sees that there are posts going on there. It only takes a couple or a few active people to make a buzz.
I’m interested in the new music community! I’m terrible at branching out. Thanks for making something I didn’t know I wanted.
