Driving Engagement? (self.flashlight)

Hello Everyone!

I am still enjoying Lemmy and think it is a great place to be! However, this place seems to be low on any content. I understand that we only have around 2.2k people and that is to be expected.

Do you guys have any ideas for driving engagement here and sharing more of what we are doing and what we are looking to get or recently got? I try to share some lights and post every now and again, but I don't want to make like 5 posts a day.

Do you think we should have a BST thread like on Reddit? Perhaps some weekly discussion thread with projects we are doing or maybe we can discuss a different brand or company?

What do you guys think?

That's a hard one. Can't force people but many don't know The magic of lemmy. Does reddit still ban for speaking of other platforms?

I know I'm guilty, haven't made a single thread hehe.

I don't like the big threads but others seem to enjoy them. Maybe?

I'm not sure honestly. The community was pretty clear they didn't want to move over.

I don't really post and try my best to not really interact at all. Not because I hate them or something, but because of the principle. Although I did get a Zebralight h600fc from the BST.

I doubt we'll have big threads. The most comments a post gets here is like 20.

It probably depends on whether an algorithm decides it's too spammy. I do see people talking about Lemmy on Reddit without getting banned, but if all you post is off-topic comments encouraging people to... it doesn't even matter what. That's spam.
