What tweaks have improved your Lemmy experience? (midwest.social)

Switching from a consumer to a creator: I realized that if I want more people to engage w/ content, I have to be the change I want to see. I interact w/ content more regularly as a result
Update settings so that 'Sort Type = New': There isn't as much content as Reddit just yet, and so the default 'sort by active' threads results in seeing the same threads for too long in many communities. Changing my view to 'new' highlighted new content more clearly, and seeing others make the effort to create new conversations encouraged me to try to comment on their content.
Try the desktop/mobile/app versions: The experiences are different across the multiple platforms. Find out which one works best for your workflow

Honestly, kbin.social. It allows me to continue to leverage the amazing existing Lemmy corner of the Fediverse while also adding tons of interesting features and functions. Though it's based in php instead of rust, so you win some lose some I suppose lol.

I'm relatively new to the fediverse - what "interesting features and functions" does kbin offer?

It integrates directly with other sources of info in the Fediverse, like mastodon. Organizes related Lemmy communities into groups called "magazines" that span many instances. Allows you to follow individuals and customize what content you see.
