We can make this a great interesting place and more people will join
Hey! I’m keeping this as it’s targeted at new users from Reddit. However, in future please find another community to post this on, because it is not related to the lemmy.world instance specifically.
I’ll start posting content as soon as the server stops being overloaded ;) My first 3-4 attempts at submitting a post timed out so far. For some reason comments seem to work fine, though.
hi
I’ve been tryna make c/football pretty active by posting transfer news haha, used to just read what other people sent instead of going to Twitter myself but now…
Doing great work mate. I’ve never posted much on reddit but committed myself to atleast make one post a day so the football /c/ hopefully takes off
There’s one thing i need to know before trying to make content here. Does this platform have any showstopping issues? Mastodon has one where you can’t view older content from other instances without going to that instance first. On mobile you can’t even do that. If there’s something like that here then I don’t have much reason to go all in yet.
maybe this answers your question https://lemmy.world/post/16351
I’m not much of a content creator… But I love following contents creators… Am I useful?
Commenting helps, too. It shows that at least someone is interested enough to share their thoughts. That alone encourages more activity from others.
Plus, if you ever think you have nothing to say, just say something nice. Even the smallest supportive statement can go a long way.
So, good job, OP!
That’s a good point. A lot of time I want to say post something, but someone else said it better or faster. I just end up writing a draft post and then deleting it before I submit.
So now I won’t. Your easy goal of say something nice is a great goal to have. I’ll keep this rambling and I will say more nice things to people cause of your post. Thanks.
Thanks for your rambling. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us. Thanks!
… See?
But that’s so much work
Ok, buddy. I’ll test cross-commenting here, if you don’t mind.
E: nice
ads are terrible lurker candy. some are just scrolling ads. they will miss them telling them what to do
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.
Not sure about the mobile site but on Desktop there is a notification bell near your username (like over there) that tells you when someone replies.
The linking issue is a big one that they will need to figure out how to make work. If you can’t share a community easily there’s just no way this is going to get big.
I think I saw some thread requesting ideas for new communities. I just can’t find it again, but it’s a great idea.
Less experienced users could just comment what they need and more experienced users could create the communities for the most upvoted ideas and thereby having a userbase from the beginning.
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!
hello, just moved here from reddit
looking good so far!
lil fun fact: Participating in social media can actually boost your mental health, while lurking around out of FOMO, doomscrolling , whatever else can make you less happy.

Interesting, thanks for linking (see, I’m trying to engage and not just lurk)
I’m guilty of said doom scrolling. I’m gonna do a thing though and break the cycle! :)
Hello everyone! I must say that it’s a bit confusing and all, especially finding new communities. But it seems like it has lots of opportunity!
