Don't be a no-poster

I guess I’m just a boring person, I have nothing really to say or share that is post worthy, but I try to contribute to discussions when I can.

This is a good meme, particularly because of the correct your/you’re usage.

Some people post, some people engage, some people vote.

Two out of three ain’t bad.

Especially when the vast majority just lurk (and even that still helps).

Pretty sure reddit had a channel where you could post pictures of your poop. I think you could come up with something.

Not sure that’s a great baseline, really.

Share things you find interesting, you don’t have to be interesting yourself

Dude, you have only 56 posts…

Start whining when you have over 500.

Now get back to work, those posts aren’t gonna make themselves

56 is actually a decent amount of posts imo…

Says Mr. 55 posts lol.

Gotta keep it 55th St

Dammit now I gotta post something to catch up

Yeah but 69 is better

Do I need to put /s after every obvious joke…

You better watch your tone or I’m gonna comment something vaguely abrasive and then get confused when I find an angry reply in like 6 hours, nerd.

I am actually quite annoyed at the reddit repost bots, they drown out Lemmy content in favour of Reddit reposts…

Exactly. Lemmy is a social media platform, not an archival service. People come here to talk to people, not bots.

I agree. Reddit repost no good. But normal post bot ok, bring in interesting subjects

The repost bots were probably needed to kickstart Lemmy with content, but now I feel like they are preventing a natural growth of the communities.

As it is now I feel that they add a layer of confusion to new members, they have made several Lemmy communities looking like vast empty cities, there are new content, but no people commenting or voting.

If any admin is reading tjis, please consider scaling back the repost bots.

I don’t browse All because of this , but I did sub to simpsonsshitposts and yeah, just that one tends to dominate, even though most of the posts are indeed what it says on the tin, ie stupid worthless crap.

That many comments really does make a difference. Still, next time you see something cool online consider submitting it? It’s not as bad here as you might think.

What if I don’t look anywhere else online?

then post about your experience or wisdom you’ve gained from here?

Comments are content

Do you only comment in images of some sort?

I didn’t even comment for a long time because of the requirement to use a real email instead of disposable. I didn’t even have a real email on Reddit and I created that account long after it was popular (but before they required real email accounts). Imo Lemmy cracked down on potential fake accounts too soon and it is costing them growth.

Registration, especially requiring legitimate credentials is a huge barrier for many people who would otherwise post.

I’m sorry but I don’t really see it being that much of a hurdle with services like SimpleLogin where you can activate an address, create an account and then deactivate it again. Or am I wrong here?

Lemmy.world’s faq claims they will ban you when they eventually find out you used a service like that.

turns out quantity over quality also ruins a platform

Don’t boo this post! It is the truth!

Rules:

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
