engage with content I like, try to produce some posts on communities that are dear to my heart, showing my critical gf the cute animal pictures and derpy jokes I find here.
I am actually writing a better Android/iOS/Web client for lemmy :) not sure when it's gonna be ready though as I am already busy enough but keep an eye for an announcement maybe in the next month or so :) the idea is that its heavily inspired on the Infinity client for reddit.
I'd love to see it and maybe even use it! Keep up the good work for the community!
Oh sweet. Infinity was what I personally used for reddit. Very underrated in my opinion.
Eyo, me too! Which language/framework?
I'm so desperate for something like Apollo that I've downloaded Xcode and am going to try and learn how the hell any of this works.
I've been making at least 20 comments/day. It ain't much but it's honest work.
I was closer to 20 comments per year back on reddit
Same here.
I read the stuff people post.

Iβve used lemmy and kbin exclusively since the 11th and havenβt given Reddit any traffic during that time
- Forked and fixed PDS so users can mass-edit comments and clean up / remove content from Reddit, while leaving a sign of the issue
- Wiped my own accounts clean, editing all comments, deleted accounts
- Have not gone back to reddit (won't go back)
- Started a community I didn't see here (trying to start another but bugs)
Curious; why did you fork PDS and what changes did you make?
I wanted to edit my comments, not remove them.
Reddit implemented a 5-second cooldown editing comments. PDS would report all comments edited but only a smattering of them would be in actuality. The last post on the PDS subreddit ( 2 years ago or something like that) was about this very issue.
So I found a fork that had implemented a 5-second timer on comment edit operations and then finished the rest of the work: updating the bookmarlet, creating a new codepen, updating versions, readme, etc.) Hooray for open source!
I post news I find interesting or neato
i'v been taking part in discussions all day, learning what i need to learn to be able to help, then getting ready to do specifically that.
i'v also been cluing some of the more confused reddit mods in to where this place is and figuring out how not to get shadowbanned in the process - make a reference to motorhead instead of naming lemmy himself. hopefully we'll get the earthquakes mod here soon
So far I've made 2 or 3 posts, more than I did my time on reddit, I offered help in a new community, and I've left an unhealthy amount of comments lol.
I'm engaging in worthwhile discussion, which I think is super important, cause for some like me, they're really here for the comments.
I got my long time lurker SO to come over, and actually make posts, 3 so far which a huuuge deal for her.
Made a small community combining some hobbies/passions of mine that I'd like to see on kbin instead of reddit.
I created two communities for things I work on and enjoy, one for BlueMaxima's Flashpoint, a project I contribute to, and another for Audrey Hepburn.
I've also been posting daily more or less to multiple communities. I gained mod status on one after getting in touch with the person who created it who had been inactive for three years and polished it up with rules, a banner, and linking similar communities in the sidebar.
Also been trying to get mod status on another community to try and liven it up a bit as well, and am going to try for my local one should a local personality's request fall through.
I created a community for my regional area (Appalachia) and I try to interact. Posted pics of one of my cats, got the other to do next!
Been commenting and trying to post a little. I did make my own community within the instance that I joined. May make a second one soon.
So far itβs just commenting and upvoting. The mobile interface isnβt the best tbh, but Iβm hoping to dive into everything on desktop when I have time this weekend.
Made various posts to help communities I'm interested in get off the ground, advertised my fave ones on other social media, helped a lot of people out during the influx earlier in the week so hopefully a few less of them bounce off Lemmy due to confusion. Haven't started any communities because I prefer to try and help build existing ones.
(I did briefly consider making a craft-focused instance but had a look at the docs and the tech requirements and noped out lol)
Commenting, upvoting, boosting, and seeking out inactive magazines on topics I'm interested in, then making posts. My local magazine would be /m/stlouis so I've made a couple of posts there. No traction yet but I'll keep at it.
Created a community and I'm trying to comment and upvote the most possible. Unfortunately, most people don't do anything.
I've made more posts than usual (I usually only comment, not post).
I've also posted a bunch of issues to the kbin issue tracker and investigated the code for a few. Maybe at some point I'll actually contribute some changes, but admittedly setting up a dev env is a pain in the ass and I do enough dev for work that I don't usually have energy for more.
As I get more and more into the idea of just staying here (I really was hoping Reddit would have just pulled its head out of its ass), I may also recreate some communities that aren't yet here. Last I checked, my city didn't have one here.
I'm going to make my first post! I'm really happy to be apart of this community!
After typing things out a bunch of times and deleting it, I'm making my first comment now! Soon a post, maybe.
I go back a couple times a day to lead those that won't convert to ad-free modded versions of the official app so reddit can't make any money off Android users by cramming ads down their throats.
Also been trying to lead more people to kbin.
I switched to the Fediverse a few days before the reddit blackout and haven't gone back yet. I'm actually finding myself wanting to participate in voting and commenting in the smaller communities here vs. getting completely lost in the mix on reddit.
I've made some of the first posts in a few communities. I hope they end up taking off.
I created the Wayfarers' Haven instance - that was my first time working with Ansible, dockers, and setting up an environment quite like this. Talk about a learning curve! I also created multiple communities and have been active in supporting others.
I've been commenting, upvoting and posting. Though for some reason I haven't been able to post anything since yesterday - It gives me an error code no matter how many times I try, does anyone know anything about this? I want to post more cat pics darn it!!
As someone who has absolutely zero knowledge about servers and stuff I can tell you with certainty that the servers are overwhelmed and that's why uploading is throttled.
Ah thought so. Glad we're getting more people! Can't wait to see the magazines fill up a bit more.
