Another thing I think people could do, is to gather links to relevant smaller communities and post them to larger communities, to help discoverability.
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.
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!
I posted maybe two dozen things, mostly text, and lurked maybe commenting 10 times a week, despite using bacon reader 16+hours a week. I'm trying to participate more by commenting. Maybe posting will become more of a thing if I find some relevant communities.
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.
Genuine question: I've always used reddit as a source for information regarding work, hobbies and recommendations. Will I be able to type in ${topic} lemmy and get links to some real information in a lemmy "subreddit" regarding a topic without having to browse a top ten list of some fuck face?
I think depending on the community, some may need reposts in order to get up and running here.
For example advice subs should probably repost any FAQs, links and usefull things they collected in reddit through the years
One of the things reddit has over its alternatives is the vast amount of content it already gathered over the years. Sharing that content here might give people more consideration to join. Also i get why people frown upon reposts, seeing the same over and over again. But there are always people who haven't seen it. So under the right circumstances i encourage reposts, especially with useful posts.
I've started taking some of the better content from r/nootropics and posting it in a new sub and crediting the user. Years of great info that will be stuck in Reddit if not brought over.
It would also be helpful if mods understood that there are a lot of new users here so shitting on someone for making a mistake is only going to hurt the community. Redirection and corrections don’t have to come with shitty passive aggressive comments.
