Please Don’t Be a Lurker!
In the monthly server updates for lemmy.zip/piefed.zip there’s a mantra that’s repeated every month. I think it’s wonderful and can be applied to the Fediverse as a whole.
If you’re new here - WELCOME! I hope you’re enjoying your time here :)
Just one small teeny-tiny request. The greatest gift you can give
the Fediverse(Original: Lemmy.zip and Piefed.zip) isn’t money, praise, or interpretive dance (although we would absolutely accept the last one). Its participation.Upvote the things you like. Start a discussion, debate, or ponder about whether water is wet or merely makes things wet. Make new communities if you don’t see one that fits your oddly specific niche obsession.
(We don’t judge. Well, we try not to judge anyway.)The fediverse naturally ebbs and flows, tides of people come and go. But if you’ve found yourself oddly attached to this strange little corner of the internet? Wonderful. Help it breathe. Help it grow. Help it be just a tiny bit weirder in the best possible way.
So if you’ve gone to the effort of clicking Sign Up and proving you’re not a robot (unless you are, in which case hello and welcome to our new AI overlords), then please, I beg of you:
Stick around. Add your voice. It really does make this place better.

There’s like 5 people that are firehoses of content that are keeping lemmy alive.

Yeah they’re doing a huge service to the Fediverse. I’ve had a few times where I saw posts from the same people across totally different communities to the point where I’m wondering if they’re actually interested in all these subjects or just posting for the sake of it.

After a while, it doesn’t even matter. It creates a sense of community, making this place nice for new people to join. So it’s good.
anon6789@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I don’t know how those people do it. Putting out stuff every day for one community keeps me as busy as I’d want to be.

Interesting. I find flooding Lemmy with 0-comment posts rather a disservice to it instead. I come here for the discussion, not for random links to articles.
Sunshine@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Beehaw thinks I should post less though.
kamenlady@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Never stop Sunshine
Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
keep going
gigachad@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
Beehaw still exists? Didn’t they want to leave Lemmy, like 2 years ago?
SorteKanin@feddit.dk 3 weeks ago
How come?
FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I make it a point to post a few articles every day.
Not a firehose, but I’m doing my part.

Well, 4 after FlyingSquid left.

What I’ve learned is that when you emigrate to the UK, you stop posting on lemmy!
GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Thank fuck he left
dualtronic@lemmy.jtworld.xyz 3 weeks ago
That would explain all the shitposts and memes. 😛

I would say it’s more 500 than 5

I genuinely worry about Picard Maneuver and Lady Butterfly. What of one of them got hit by a car!?
Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Picard Maneuver went and came back. I appreciate their work though, they’re one of the pillars.
I worry about Stamets.

I’m the dribble of drool from a baby’s mouth every so often.
DupaCycki@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
What if they’re bots and we’ve all been fooled?
pseudo@jlai.lu 3 weeks ago
Nah ! They are at least 8.
1984@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
Probably bots.
