Ask Lemmy

Showing up.

I'm posting and commenting more than I did on reddit.

Scrolling through the top 20 posts a dozen times a day. You're welcome!

Trying to post quality content when I have time.

Built a UI with some nice bells and whistles

Helping other admins when I can.

Along with trying to add contributive posts here and there, I'm also trying to be more mindful about upvoting. I think most us like to see appreciation and acknowledgement of our post efforts, so a little upvote goes a long way towards encouraging content creation.

Telling people to stop treating the normies like they're inferiors.

Seriously this platform is full of people who think they're smarter than everyone else and people who take being privacy aware to a point where clearly they're just making their own lives more difficult

Contributing content as best I can to a couple communities, browsing /all and joining new communities and trying to be polite.

Voting, commenting, sharing content and news articles in relevant communities nearly ever day. Reporting spam. So basically, just actively participating.

I'm still using reddit (desktop only) until they shut down old.reddit. That's been my line in the sand ever since the redesign was launched. So whenever possible I do my best to recommend lemmy and/or explain how it works to anyone interested because I think Lemmy would appeal to most redditors. The problem is the average person has it in their head that the fediverse is a lot more complicated than it actually is. Everything can be learned as you go. Which is exactly how I learned the ropes on reddit 12 years ago. But since so many people insist on having their hand held I'll jump in to help out when I can.

Occasionally comment.

Post cat, make comments, click the arrows.

Posting about all of my magnet fishing adventures on !magnetfishing@feddit.uk in the hope that people find it interesting and that maybe one day I won't be the only person making posts there.

I originally just wanted to join a magnet fishing community, but I found that there wasn't one so I made one myself and starting posting.

I try to post relevant content to a few niche subs. It's slow going atm but Rome wasn't built in a day. Right now it's just two obsessed fools posting in turn, in a few months or years, who knows? There might be three of us by then.

Contributing content to the few smaller communities I'm interested in and know more about, mostly from RSS feeds that I am using for my own use.

Commenting more often than I would have otherwise, especially on discussions about how Lemmy can be improved. The site is still young and has lots of room to improve, so it's worth helping with that guidance

For a few particular communities that are split between Reddit and Lemmy, I'm trying to work with a few others to help ease the migration. It won't happen all at once, and instead it's better to make the community here useful for that particular topic. Setting up an official parallel community and bringing over some moderators from the other community should go a long way :)

Running an instance!

Commenting.

Posting humorous comments to get people to laugh more.

Even better when I self depreciate myself to make someone smile.

I sort by new and vote.

I try to comment and vote as much as I can!

I mod a community (under another account). Also I’m trying to comment more.

I try to post a picture of my cats every day or two. It's not much, but I get a fair amount of engagement on some of them. Aside from that I scroll daily and comment and upvote when something catches my eye. Haven't been back to Reddit since Apollo died so this is my only social media and I really want too see it grow.

I'm running my own instance dormi.zone dedicated to a niche videogame (Warframe). Currently looking to upgrade it with automated weekly posts and a custom lemmy-ui theme.

Besides that, I've done a few small contributions to projects like lemmy-ui and the lemmy-explorer.

Posting content that is critical of right-wing and fascist ideology in a community that is full of conservatives.

They deserve truth.

I'm here, I read all the new posts everyday, I tried to find something to contribute. I try to be positive. I usually never use social media, I never contribute, I'm a lifetime lurker. But I think Lemmy is important.

It has not been easy, there is a bunch of unfriendly people here, there's some good people too. But the unfriendly ones have a lot to say

I posted some OC four days ago.

Not getting banned so I can remain an active user

Lurking

I try not to be one of the people making it worse.

You may not agree with everything I say and that's fine, but if you have an argument I'll hear you out, and I don't attack you personally for it, be nasty or start calling names. I don't have a side so I'm not saying stuff to get an applause from them.

I moderate Foodporn and I also comment a lot on everything.

I helped with some Jerboa app development and translations. Other than that commenting, adding thoughtful discussion, posting, voting.

Along with the occasional comment and vote, I talk about Lemmy with friends and encourage them to join, especially those still suffering with that other site that shall not be named.

I host and maintain Lemmy.wtf

Using it.

I've been working on the !instance_assistant@lemmy.ca extension :)

RES initially helped me get into Reddit, so hopefully this helps people get into Lemmy as well

The same as many others: sharing content I like, participating in comments more often, and generally being more active than I usually am. Also been trying to build a community at !roadcam@lemmy.ca, but I don't know that it's going anywhere. Obviously most people will head to !idiotsincars@lemmy.world because it was more popular on Reddit.

Leaving an embarrassing amount of comments.

I comment sometimes. Upvote a little more frequently. Just try to be active when I can.

I browse by new and all and attempt to comment on posts that don't have any comments

I also try to make posts with questions that are somewhat thought provoking. Like how would the Sims 3 handle only having a single Sim and lot in a world map.

Being the only one who posts original fan arts on !splatoon@lemmy.world
