    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’d also like to post more but worry that I’m being narcissistic…Not everyone likes my weirdly-tuned ukulele music.

      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.

    Let’s face it. without shitposters and casuals a social network can’t thrive. You need the chaotic energy it brings.

    Was a total lurker in reddit. No accounts, nothing. Just browsing the subreddits.

    But I joined lemmy just to help the cause. And put up a good fight.

    Yeah. I’m seeing myself using it more and more.

    First I need to understand how all this works. fedia, lemmy, mastadon, fediverse, etc. I don’t really understand what it all is and how it works. Suggestions from one user to another from a different “place” don’t translate. Someone told me to look at /all. Like, where is that? I don’t see anything like that. It’s all a confusing, jumbled mess. It’s melting my brain and I don’t know if I can stick around. I don’t see any kind of notifications either, so if someone responds to me, I probably won’t see it unless I remember where I posted and to go manually check.

    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.

    👀 if we just make content about saying that we should make content does it count as actual content?

      It would be good if an admin pinned a message like this but temporary, like 1 month

    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.
