If you want Lemmy to succeed, stop lurking and contribute with some content:

  • Take inspiration from your saved Reddit posts
  • Share a photo you took with your phone
  • /c/microthoughts and /c/showerthoughts for random thoughts and observations
  • Share interesting quotes, links, articles, videos, etc. that you saved (E.g: Youtube liked videos)

What else do you suggest?

Participate in discussions if you don’t feel yet like posting new stuff, even small comments help building up a community.

Agreed. One of the biggest value-adds for forums is the back and forths that bring in more ideas and information than just what was in the posted link.

I was never much of a posting or comment person on Reddit, but I am trying for Lemmy. I refuse to go back to Reddit and I hope I can contribute to these communities. Let’s do it folks!

That’s ok. I’ve shitposted hours a day for years. Reddit was a tapestry, and we’re slowly removing the best threads from Reddit’s tapestry and reweaving them here.

I posted maybe two dozen things, mostly text, and lurked maybe commenting 10 times a week, despite using bacon reader 16+hours a week. I’m trying to participate more by commenting. Maybe posting will become more of a thing if I find some relevant communities.

Your right right I was on reddit for eight years, and never commented once. This seems like a good reason to start.

I’m actually just scrolling here to reply to some posts here as I was used to being a lurker in Reddit. More content, more engagement, more fun!

Some more ideas:

  • Cross-post content from Lemmy to Reddit: to get people from Reddit to Lemmy
  • Cross-post content from Reddit to Lemmy: to get content in Lemmy
  • /c/asklemmy is an easy way to add content. Answer a question or ask one.
  • You can bring moderators from Reddit by handing them the sublemmies you created (in case you’re not interested in moderating)
