If you want Lemmy to succeed, stop lurking and contribute with some content:

  • Take inspiration from your saved Reddit posts
  • Share a photo you took with your phone
  • /c/microthoughts and /c/showerthoughts for random thoughts and observations
  • Share interesting quotes, links, articles, videos, etc. that you saved (E.g: Youtube liked videos)

What else do you suggest?

    I was never much of a posting or comment person on Reddit, but I am trying for Lemmy. I refuse to go back to Reddit and I hope I can contribute to these communities. Let’s do it folks!

      That’s ok. I’ve shitposted hours a day for years. Reddit was a tapestry, and we’re slowly removing the best threads from Reddit’s tapestry and reweaving them here.

    Participate in discussions if you don’t feel yet like posting new stuff, even small comments help building up a community.

      Agreed. One of the biggest value-adds for forums is the back and forths that bring in more ideas and information than just what was in the posted link.

    Some more ideas:

    • Cross-post content from Lemmy to Reddit: to get people from Reddit to Lemmy
    • Cross-post content from Reddit to Lemmy: to get content in Lemmy
    • /c/asklemmy is an easy way to add content. Answer a question or ask one.
    • You can bring moderators from Reddit by handing them the sublemmies you created (in case you’re not interested in moderating)

    Your right right I was on reddit for eight years, and never commented once. This seems like a good reason to start.

    Just started on Lemmy. I love how new things pop up but is there a way to not have things show up but not necessarily resort to blocking the community. Star Wars memes for my example.
