Also, what’s for breakfast?

toast and coffee, as (almost) always

I started yesterday. Liking it so far, blocking some magazines that are maybe for teens.

My question is about comments. When I'm on kbin and browse a different instance's communities, I'll see comments, but when I switch instances to say lemmy.world there'll be more comments or entirely different comments.

Are comments only local to your instance?

kbin, lemmy, saidit, aagh I've established so many logins everywhere to try to replace the void that uSpez has created in my life, and this "fediverse" is complex & unsatisfying to my idle mind that just wants to relax in idle moments.

am eating MealSquares for breakfast. it's new-age complete nutrition in a brownie. i live on this stuff & it's amazing. i'm thin, fit, healthy, & i feel fantastic. effortless nutrition. Sorry if i sound like an ad. i'm not. You asked what I'm having for breakfast.

I created this magazine if anyone is interested. I could always use some help with content!

I'm actively looking into getting the kbin project installed locally so I can get some UI/UX pull requests going. I've given it a good go today but keep running into issues getting it set up, I've already logged a report and joined a forum with other devs but everyone is busy AF with their own thing so I guess all I can do is wait :(

It sucks to to be stuck.

If randomly there's a person on here who's familiar with docker and yarn I could use all the help I can get!

What are you doing to help your community?

I've joined the new equivalents of the coule of major communities I was very active in, and have been trying to contribute to conversations instead of just lurking. I know when I joined it was a little disheartening to see so little activity/content. If newcomers are going to stay, there needs to be both!

How do you go from lurking to contributing?

That's a good question. I make it a point to comment on any post I find slightly interesting, and to try and make it a discussion-based comment, not one that just dead-ends immediately.

As far as as posting goes, I'm still working on that one. Reddit was a source of a lot of news and such for me, so I'm slowly getting new sources for that to share.

I think for a lot of people, it's easier to contribute here because the overall user base is so much smaller and it feels like you have a voice, whereas on Reddit even fairly prominent community members could still get drowned out on their community's subreddits by all the noise.

Spreading the word?

I've been talking to friends about my recent shift into the Fediverse and why it's a good concept and how my experience has been. They seem interested in the concept, but aren't bothered by Reddit's actions, so they probably won't jump ship. Not going to be pushy about it, just want people to know how cool the concept is, you know?

Also, what's for breakfast?

Just woke up, so I'm still deciding. Most likely eggs and toast!

I am a conversationalist but not a prolific content poster.

I try to comment as much as possible on stuff I feel is interesting and I boost and upvote every thread I comment in.

In the begining I was rolling through the subs that I'm interested in that weren't getting a lot of engagement and posting something, and trying to engage with some other content that was on there. I'm doing it when I have time. Hopefully others are doing the same.

We're getting there, it def feels as though these instances have more legs than the Twitter Masto experience in the fall. Just gotta keep engaging and sharing content. The emphasis though should be on engaging on pre-existing content, with meaningful comments. Just dropping in and saying "interesting article" probably isn't going to be helpful.

I created an alt and created [email protected] and [email protected]

Sort by new, comment and subscribe to communities on other servers. That seems the easiest way to doing something "cheap".

I really hope this works out. I'll start trying to post more frequently.

I'm doing my part. I'm posting on here and created a new magazine. Sure it's not the most active but there's only so much I'm gonna do about it.

@MyMulligan Planning to add a few articles. Daily post. Weekly themed things. Things to get people talking.

Today's breakfast is Fried Tofu and Rice, with some salt. Simple but delicious.

I'm honestly just trying to post content to communities I'm interested in. If people show up and there's no content they'll just leave. I'm trying to submit interesting posts.

At least 1 post a day, and always thinking of post ideas. Comment on everything in as productive way as i can, and check inbox and reply. Donate to my instance.

I created and mod three magazines for topics I'm very interested in. I am also pretty much the only one who posts links/microblogs in them, but I figure if I keep it up enough, others will find the content and start contributing as well.

I would love to contribute, but I’m still finding the fediverse chaotic and difficult to manage. And I haven’t really found the communities in which I’ve got something interesting to share. Hell I don’t even always manage to subscribe to communities cause suddenly I’m supposedly not logged in (which I am) and even worse on the kbin app, I don’t even know how to subscribe to a magazine. So as long as I’m not getting it it’s probably best to stay away from posting. But I’m staying off Reddit and upvoting everything I see here to help out as much as I can and know how to.
