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?

As much as i like Lemmy and want it to succeed, I’m not yet convinced it will. I’m still on Reddit (until the app i use, Narwhal, starts charging) and there just is neither the variety of channels nor a similar level of interaction here. In some ways that is a good thing, fewer shitposts, no endless puns and obscure memes and references etc. But i do miss the often interesting comments and discussions you see in the more niche subs on reddit. It may improve over time when user numbers grow, but i don’t think Lemmy, or the bigger fediverse, is ready for the general public yet.

I share that sentiment. The niche subreddits are still great places to be.

There are a few subreddits that are totally about the subject at hand and are wonderful places. I would like to see a community like that grow here. We have a great start so far.
