Lemmy

Hi people!

Well, I feel like you're talking directly to me so...here I am!

You’re right lemmy could take off provided people engage. The transition is primed for thanks to Twitter educating us about the fediverse.

I'm commenting to boost engagement!

I wonder if it wouldn't be wise to try and emulate some of the easier/more participatable subreddits here. Askreddit theads for instance are a big pull (even if they tend to be. well, redditors post on them use your imagination).

Furthermore friends, please sort by new where possible to help give new posts visibility when you interact with them.

Is there any Android app that looks exactly like the website? I absolutely love the UI of the website but I prefer apps.

Doing my part!

Trying my best! I'm trying to decide if I want to open my instance up to more users or not as well.

Was mostly a reddit lurker, have tried to change that by hosting my own lemmy instance and actually get involved in something!

If you just quit reddit because they dropped support for same mobile application there is a lot you should learn. Learn what free software is https://www.fsf.org/about/what-is-free-software learn about Aaron Swartz.

Well, I already voted and commented more here then I ever did on Reddit, so that should work out :)

I find it really hard not to lurk. So much so that the one time I got banned from a subreddit, I immediately unsubscribed from it because I knew someday I'd see something I wanted to respond to there and not being able to would be super annoying.

I really like kbin.social, but it's hard for me to figure out how to start a new Threaded post. I can add a new "article" or "link", but what about just a text post?

Also I am not sure how my home feed is populated - I can subscribe to federated stuff and local stuff, but most of what I'm seeing is not from anything I've subscribed to. Is it more like r/popular?

I'll try not to lurk, even though I'm use to lurking.
