  This is honestly it.

  I like the site, I want to use it, I want to encourage others to use it, but I’m getting tired of only talking about the same things here.

  Maybe we need to start encouraging people to post rather than just expecting them to.

    we don’t need more memes, we need people to start going to the games, movies, shows, and hobbies they like and making posts.

    I’m in the process of making some stuff, I just worry that the community I post it to on lemmy isn’t big enough to get the word out community-wide.

    For context, I’ve been working on a very long dogelore thing. But in the same way, I feel like this hurts any bhj or mtcj stuff I might do. The community on lemmy isn’t big enough to get traction, so what’s the point?

    I’m not going back to reddit, and discord is annoying, so it’s just a little discouraging.

  It feels like it’s mainly talking one way or another about Reddit, or describing how one of the 3P apps is now available for Lemmy. The content is super stale, but it will grow. Fuck, Reddit back in the day was not exactly the thriving metropolis it was maybe six or so years ago. And reddit peaked and came down to how it exists today. So it’ll take time.

  That being said, I don’t check Lemmy anywhere near as frequently as I did Reddit, and mainly because the subs I frequented most have smaller footprints here for now. Which is what you said, but in fewer words.

  Also, liftoff kinda sucked, but I just figured out some features of Sync, and it’s fucking beautiful.

  • deweydecibel@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    So we’re blaming liftoff for the downward trend? Cause the ih-so-amazing Sync does not seemed to have reversed it to spite all the claims I keep seeing.

    I’m still using wefwef. What am I missing?

      You’re not missing anything but ads. I cannot understand the Sync hype and attribute all posts about it to promotion.

      • Xanthobilly@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Yah in app ads is a big no.

        Connect for Lemmy is basically Sync free. It’s got the same swipe gestures and everything. I’m not sure what people are so blown away by.

  For what it’s worth, memes have helped me stay. I doubt I’m the only one.

  They’re quick and easy to browse and some get a bunch of topical comments and links to other relevant communities.

  It’ll take a while to reach a level that’s known in the public eye like Twitter and Reddit, but the low-hanging fruit helps keep people interested while more niche communities are forming.

    We don’t want to be in the public eye. Let’s enjoy what we have while it lasts

  Yeah, I really want r/sysadmin on here.

  They have a Discord but Discord is so incredibly annoying to use for this.

  • dmmeyournudes@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    hot is completely useless because its filled with content that’s less than an hour old with virtually no comments. its very poor quality content.

    source

    • ludwig@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      But active is filled with old content with barely any comments.

      source

      • dmmeyournudes@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        active is about what posts have a lot of comments recently.

  I will say I was looking for some opinions on new Internet browsers.

  Posted on Reddit and here.

  Already got responses on lemmy, but my Reddit post is just being ignored.

    Also, Lemmy posts tend to get real conversations going rather than reused meme templates.

    source

    • applejacks@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Nothing worse than opening up a thread you’re interested in, and half the comments are stupid jokes and quoting song lyrics.

    If you’re interested in the right (tech) topics I can see Lemmy being better yeah

  The two biggest ones I know of are startrek.website for trekkies and blahaj for all things trans/lgbtq. But even those don’t see to have much activity. We need better advertisement to smaller communities somehow.

  • dmmeyournudes@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    its not about the instances, those are actually hindering growth by dividing communities across instances and defederating them. lemmy is basically several copies of reddit in a trench coat pretending to be a social network.

  Which site?

  Lemmy.world? Lemmy.ml? Lemm.ee? Programming.dev? Lemmy.ca? Lemmy.nz? …

• Serinus@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I think I’ve blocked the biggest meme sub or two. Helps a lot with that.
