Posing this on a whim since I tend to be a lurker on Reddit, but I am really struggling to get into Lemmy. Part of it is that I’m used to lurking but now we all have to put a little more work into not lurking in order to start to get the content we want, but also I have yet to find the sort of shitposting content I guess I’m looking for. Maybe that’s for the best, not really sure. I’m sure I will get used to it if I commit, but I really need some more communities that’ll really capture me

Sorry for the rambly post, really just putting this out there in a communal spirit

    For me the sense of novelty I get on Lemmy is finding new instances and checking for communities I’m interested in. Sort of like finding a new subreddit but more like when you find r/earthporn and then discover their whole subreddit network. What I don’t get though is why there’s all these community stubs but hardly any content.

        Turns out quality OC is actually pretty hard to make, plus the numbers of lemmings is still pretty low, even after all the Reddit shit went down.

          I’ve been trying to regularly post stuff to my @GirlGames community but it’s a drip feed even during the busy days. I’m usually a “reply guy” sorta person so it’s a bit of a struggle to force myself to post images/videos/links/etc.

        I mean I guess I’m just as guilty but I’ve just always been more of a commenter. Maybe people just don’t know the communities are there is the more likely problem? Should we put together a guide on popular instances and their communities - with the requirement being that any instance mentioned in the guide be mutually federated?
