I feel like I'm good friends with The Picard Maneuver, Flying Squid, and Kolanaki, just because they're in all the same threads I am.

I don't even consciously interact with specific people on Lemmy, but sometimes I just happen to be paying attention to the usernames and I do the Leo pointing meme like "Hey, I recognize that guy!"

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod 9 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

One of the things I love about the fediverse is it's not too busy for me to recognize usernames. Feels like an old phpBB board.

[–] lohky 3 points 21 hours ago

That's so far my favorite part of the community. I pretty much exclusively browse the "everything across all instances" thing and a handful of names have become really recognizable over the last few weeks.

Somehow I fell into the routine, motivated by wanting to see communities grow on lemmy, and I've just kept going.

You'd be surprised how quick I am at it now. The actual posting probably only takes 5-10min per day, and then whenever I have time to check my phone, I'll catch up on my inbox.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod 10 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

You're the George Washington of the fediverse.

Or its Karl Marx, considering it's the fediverse.

[–] Granite 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But what goldmine do you use to find content?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 17 points 1 day ago

God, all over. You name it, and I've probably found content there. Random stuff from my Google recommendations, topic searches, reddit (rarely), Twitter/X, Tumblr, imgur, memes my wife sends me, YouTube (some people actually post memes there), etc.

Pretty much anytime I see something that makes me laugh or I think Lemmy would enjoy, I add it to my (now massive) vault of memes and images.

And if I'm feeling inspired (or bored), I'll sometimes make my own.

I want to learn that power.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mostly post from my phone, using the Voyager app. You can star a handful of communities as favorites and keep them at the top of your list, so it doesn't take a lot of scrolling to find the right one.

Do that a few thousand times over the past year or so, and you get pretty fast at it!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Thanks for sharing technique.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Also props to you for making such silly maps! Honored to have you as a fellow mod of [email protected] !

Somehow I fell into the routine, motivated by wanting to see communities grow on lemmy, and I’ve just kept going.

That's the spirit of the pre-2010s internet for you, the energy that made the sites we have today in the first place.

[–] FlyingSquid 43 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's easier when you didn't have a job when you joined and you still don't.

Originally due to illness, but at this point also by choice since a parent is required to be at home in order to help my daughter stay on track with her online (public) school work.

Still got waaaay too much time with nothing to do.

[–] franklin 15 points 1 day ago

Thank you for your service.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I usually comment while in a waiting room for an appointment. Like right now. It's easy to scroll while passing time.

[–] iAvicenna 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I am pretty sure some people think that it is a community name

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I did, yes. This morning I realized it’s a person from this thread.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago

I was guilty of that for a hot minute before getting used to the UI.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Quit my job to post on Lemmy? I didn’t even know that was an option.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 day ago

You'd need to have a job first

Yeah Jesus Christ they are terminally online

[–] MataVatnik 29 points 1 day ago (2 children)

When I first joined lemmy I thought they were bots

[–] PumpkinEscobar 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I used to think they were bots. I still do, but I used to, too.

I too quit my job to post on Lemmy. In retrospect it was a poor life choice.

I love how this post has been up for six hours, nobody has tagged them, and they haven't found it on their own yet.

[–] acosmichippo 32 points 1 day ago

because The_Picard_Maneuver can be in two places at one time.
