Do your part, try not to lurk!

Right now the user count Lemmys is comparatively tiny when held up against reddit - but the user count isn't the thing that makes a social media site, it's the engagement

So even if you're used to lurking, try to get a little more active! Post memes, vote on posts, talk in the comments, whatever!

If people come here and see activity, content, and discussions, they're more likely to stay and contribute their own - if they come and see a ghost town, they'll just go back to reddit

Apex,

Greetings! It looks like kbin.social opened up registration again, so here I am!

Just created a magazine for EASportsFC (formerly FIFA)! I kept looking to see if someone would make a magazine and just said why not make it myself. (insert squidward meme "when i’m in a worst moderator competition and my opponent is NeighborlyNomad")

e: link here! https://kbin.social/m/EASportsFC

Post the link so people in other instances can subscribe to it

Good idea!

csolisr,

Which reminds me, besides of EAFC and eFootball, is there any other decent football soccer game out there coming out next year?

I haven’t heard of any. Exclusive licensing of players and teams really ruins the potential for competition.

I’ve seen a few people use the term magazine now, is that basically the same thing as a subreddit/community? Is that term used mostly on a specific instance?

NeighborlyNomad,

Yes, a magazine seems to be kbin’s name for a subreddit. I haven’t considered that other instances could have a different name for it.

rolaulten,

I'm fairly sure kbin calls em magazine, lemmy (where I'm at) calls them communities.

well this felt like a personal callout but i will try a little to do this, and to be active as a user rather than a lurker

confusedwiseman,

I couldn’t agree more!

In effort to try to add value to posting, I found a mobile app for iPhone. It’s clearly in beta. I’m not associated with them at all, and I hope they don’t mind me posting the results of my Brave search.

I’ve installed it a few hours ago and I gotta say that it’s nicer that I had expected! Clearly it’s still a work in progress but it has potential

I really wish I could edit my profile from Mlem, I hope that’s coming up on their roadmap!

jamesj999,

Been using this too, very good so far!

on android there's jerboa. it's pretty good, but clearly a work in progress (as lemmy itself is) - there are quirks that are just different between the two platforms.

but bonus, if you are on android and afraid of google, you can get jerboa from f-droid. not that i would know anyone like that

philz,

Replying from the Mlem app!

Solid app so far, can’t wait to see future updates.

QueenOfSquiggles,

Why hello I am literally just making this comment so more people see the post. My favourite thing about Fedi is how engagement works entirely different from proprietary social media. People make the Fediverse work, people being people make it such a lovely place!!

Geometric7792,

I really like kbin.social, but it's hard for me to figure out how to start a new Threaded post. I can add a new "article" or "link", but what about just a text post?

Also I am not sure how my home feed is populated - I can subscribe to federated stuff and local stuff, but most of what I'm seeing is not from anything I've subscribed to. Is it more like r/popular?

NeighborlyNomad,
NeighborlyNomad avatar

I believe the button at the top that looks like a bulleted list allows you to select from all, subscribed, moderated, and favorited!

BurningnnTree,

I wanna see more hot takes in the gaming community. Let's get some arguments going people. Tell me what popular game is overrated garbage

Sinnz,

Horizon

roi,

Forza?

Sinnz,

Zero Dawn/Forbidden West

BurningnnTree,

How dare you

dylan,

Trying my best! I have an account on lemmy.ml but with the increase in traffic I’m barely able to use it! Moving to this one which has already helped. Anyone reading this feel free to send a message and say hi!

Hi there!

chromozone,

Well thankfully it doesn't matter what instance you are on for the most part 😅

stripes,

This is my first dip into the fediverse, exploring options as I plan on leaving reddit for good. A little overwhelming but also a breath of fresh air.

dylan,

It really is nice to have a fresh start. I’ve also tried mastodon recently, and while I like it, the community driven nature of Lemmy is much more appealing to me. If you like the more user-focused nature of Twitter I definitely recommend giving mastodon a try!

dylan,

Turns out some of the communities I wanted to subscribe to weren’t loading on that issue, so I’m here instead. Clarifying: I am replying to my own comment!

qprimed,

hello, fellow human!

dylan,

Hello! I’m the same user, just moved to another instance!

Holy smokes 84 comments? You must have commenting superpowers or something

bdonvr,

135 by my count. (Just means I've been commenting in communities that your instance hasn't discovered yet)

Edit: instance, not insurance lmao

I thought Rogers was strictly Canadian, but you moderate Houston Texans community?

bdonvr,

Lol, it had nothing to do with Rogers the telecom company. That's just the URL I happened to own for personal reasons.

pancake,
@pancake@lemmy.ml avatar

Holy shit that's amazing! I really need to step up my game.

bdonvr,

My screentime for reddit was like, 30 hours a week before this week.

I probably should've quit link aggregation sites altogether. Would've been more healthy. It's like a part time job lmao.

pancake,
@pancake@lemmy.ml avatar

They've truly fucked up by messing with the few users like you that basically hold the site together. Welcome, and remember to spend time doing healthy activities, will you? ;)

bdonvr,

remembers my actual job being a truck driver working 6 days a week

yeah... healthy. yup.

pancake,
@pancake@lemmy.ml avatar

Hahaha nice, made me exhale

Vendetta9076,
@Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works avatar

I mean idk how long youve done it for but if it hasnt killed you then it cant be that bad for you.

bdonvr,

I'm in my 20's, there's plenty of time lol. Just a lot of sitting. And way too many hours working a week, plus an ever changing schedule resulting in terrible sleep.

mbp,

And admittedly this is a nice passive way to decompress after a work day

roi,

I don’t use Screen Time for this exact reason. I don’t wanna know how much I used Reddit, and I don’t wanna know how much time I’ll spend on Lemmy.

lixus98,
lixus98 avatar

Wow. You just made me check and I was on reddit for 14 hours a week. Hopefully the fediverse won't be as addictive (so far is not looking good)

@IverCoder@lemmy.ml avatar

Goodbye, Reddit addiction!

Hello, Lemmy addiction.

Here before low-effort Reddit content floods the Fediverse. 🍻

IDDM1DM,

At this rate I'll take you over soon!

a1studmuffin,

Cool, I didn’t know we could embed images in posts and they’d show up inline. I wonder how long that will last, haha.

roi,

good to know!
