I see many communities that got started in the last ten days. Sadly, some that I'm most interested in are not that active. Some are not active at all.

What are you doing to help your community? How do you go from lurking to contributing? Spreading the word?

Also, what's for breakfast?

I'm making an app with a focus on streamlining pain points for user signups, and discouraging looking for centralized lists of the biggest groups by "crawling" the network for servers and communities based on what you see and who you interact with. I hope by making this easy, I can push smaller, more diverse communities in the fediverse

It's getting close. I'm almost at the point where I can switch over to my app from jerboa for daily use, and then I'll try to put out a beta

I had grits, I really need to go grocery shopping

That sounds good. My experience with finding an instance was just a shot in the dark. It would be good to have an app that helped in finding an instance that met your needs.
