I’ve searched for older Lemmy posts on Google just to see if they are getting indexed and I don’t think most are? Can anyone else confirm. I think if Lemmy showed up in more google searches like Reddit it would bring new users
I noticed the new betas have the ability to upload video clips. I think this has been a huge missing feature that Reddit and other social media platforms have
It’s definitely demotivating. I think the biggest issue, and this is something I’ve heard a lot from outside the Lemmy sphere is the very divisive and niche politics that seem so prevalent on Lemmy world and Lemmy ML. I have tried to bring people to Lemmy and they’ll usually see the LW front page and not return. Communism/far left is not popular with the general public and will scare most people away. The top posts of Lemmy can also be very negative.
I try to practice what I preach and have joined reddthat and try to run positive communities with no negativity allowed.
Your posting has definitely helped and most of my posts get a decent amount of upvotes which is what keeps me going. I hope more of the general public joins Lemmy and the extremist politics aren’t so front and center.
I think discoverability of niche communities is another big issue. It’s hard to find them and even when you do a lot of the times the algorithm won’t show them to you.
LW admins are hostile and unprofessional in my experience. There are better instances and I’ve noticed Lemmy has become a lot more spread out the past few months.
Has anyone else noticed Google has barely indexed Lemmy

The ability to upload video clips that’s coming in Lemmy 0.2 will bring more activity to Lemmy

Yikes
How do you deal with being the only one posting in a community (aka "shouting into the void")?
I’m not gonna lie, sometimes it feels a bit lonely. I try to post on a few generic communities...

Is it a good idea to post to abandoned communities about their active counterparts?
I’m mostly thinking about LW communities where nobody posts but which have active counterparts on other instances
Bring them to me
