Be the change you wish to see in the world

Then post some interesting content. Posts like this aren't helpful

I feel like we all just went through a breakup and all we can do is talk about our ex. We know it's stupid, and we found someone else. But for right now, we are rebounding hard on Lemmy.

Eh, let people get it out of their system. It's gonna be that way for the next month or so anyway since there will be a new influx of users in July when the 3PAs stop working.

But I'm a boring lurker

Shameless self promotion:

I've made Lemmy Scare You! https://lemmy.world/c/lemmyscareyou as an alternative to Nosleep, and Now Lemmy Explain https://lemmy.world/c/nowlemmyexplain as an alternative to ELI5. Hopefully I can make them better than the old places, and I would love if you could start contributing contents there.

Other shameless self promotion: Go watch my movies.

Yeah, totally agree with this post, grew tired of Reddit Circle Jerk. Its like when someone cant move on with their past, so they bring it to every conversation, how their ex (Reddit) used to be, and found a new lover (Lemmy/Kbin) and how things work great with this new relationship

Let's just forget about Reddit. Reddit can do whatever it want's, the user that still on Reddit can also do whatever they want. Lets just focus on growing this new communities, this Fediverse, and do what we can do to make it thrive, and how to make it better for new user, and the less tech savy one

We are making content.....we're just also talking about reddit sometimes. Sort by All.

I think in terms of link aggregation, there is going to be a fair amount of duplication necessary to get a critical mass of links/content here, that people can interact with. After all, 1% post, 9% comment, 90% lurk.

I'm not suggesting we automate it, but in order to kickstart some communities I'm certainly going to be copying links from some good subs on reddit (if they're open) over here. After all they're just links to other articles/media/etc, they're not exclusive to reddit.

It would be good if everyone who comes over here and subscribes to some communities sees that there are posts going on there. It only takes a couple or a few active people to make a buzz.

I’m tired of the Reddit and fed drama. Ready to move on.

I posted some boobs. I contributed.

Yes who is gonna post the first AskMen about;

"What is the sexiest sex you ever sexed?"

Edit;
For people interested in Fragrances, I did my part and gonna start to post more often;

Suggestions are welcome!

Posts like this are just adding to the reddit circle jerk, you know. Don't post shit like this, just post the content you're talking about.

I'm in support of this. I was explaining to my wife just a bit ago that most of the "content" on lemmy and kbin is all about lemmy and kbin, and very little about anything else. For those of us coming from reddit, most of the content on reddit isn't about reddit. I'd like it if lemmy and kbin was mostly original content.

OP: complains about reddit circle jerk posts by creating a reddit circle jerk post

Fuck Steve Huffman

Happy to get away from collapsing the first 10 comment threads to get to good reading.

Joe Biden is here.

I've been trying to post content on all niche subreddits I used to lurk in. I basically get the non-reddit links and useful resources and start sharing them here.

As long as I can jerk I don't care about the shape. Circle, square, rhombus, you name it, I'm in.

Can't rush the jerk, gotta let it play out naturally.

I just posted a hot take about solar power on my sublemmy, how about you comment?

Sorry if that link doesn’t let you comment but I haven’t figured out how to generate a universal link without creating a crosspost

I'm with you. I've been posting Q/A thread in /c/chat and a few memes as I come across them. I've also been participating in some pretty interesting threads around here

I was always a commenter and a voter, not a poster. But I’ve decided I’m gonna to make an effort to post in communities that I have interests in. Gardening, food interests, photography, hiking, current events, travel, video games, finance/investing, etc. It’s not something I’m used to doing. And it’s gonna take some effort at first, but I’d rather start a new habit here than go back to that other place.

This might be a good opportunity for You to join new promising communities

I'd like to complain about reddit for at least another month, thank you.

All my yes! We have loved, we have lost, we have mourned, it's time to move on. Trying to rebuild a broken window in the way it was before is pointless, but we can pick up the pieces, dust them off, and build something new together!

@phil299 You realize that the only way through this is to talk about it right? It’s like breaking up with someone you are with for years then they just f up and try to forgive them but it’s too late

I'm definitely in support of "mega-threading" anything related to the Reddit blackout unless it's big breaking news (but mega-thread those events too).

I've also started to look for communities for some of my interests, but I suspect it's going to take a while before a lot of them spread to here. There are also a bunch that I can't really start since I am primarily a consumer and not a producer (specialized topics like astrophysics that I am not a subject matter expert for).

I think it's a combination of it being a fresh breakup, and also being something you would normally see on the front page anyways, because it's a huge event worthy of being there.
