More original content, less crap reposted via bots.

I just block all the bots so that I only see original content.

…and how do you do this?

By going to their profiles manually. After blocking a few of the prominent ones you usually don’t see bot posts.

I don’t mind the bot posts, because they do bring a theater for discussion. But without an algorithm to float them they end up just being everything. Maybe if bots identified themselves as bots, and they could be sorted in after original content?

There’s an option to do that when you create an account

I agree. Too much of Lemmy is just links to other content instead of people having thoughts of their own and then starting a discussion about it. There isn’t a real reason to use Lemmy if there is nothing here that is not anywhere else.

There are a lot memes here so maybe those are often original.

Content aggregation is what reddit and lemmy are designed for.

Partially, but not exclusively. We will get enough of it regardless of anything so I’d wish people focused on also doing other forms of content.

More hobbies, less doomerism. I don’t need yet another site telling me that the world is fucked by capitalism but it’s be nice to have another site to tell me how to beat those boomerang guys in Zelda 2

Wasn’t that notorious for being the worst Zelda by a long shot?

I think the old CDi Zelda games are the front runners. Zelda 2 was very different from the original Zelda, but it’s still considered a classic.

Just decent quality content for various topics which aren’t politics or tech. For the good of increasing the size of Lemmy, I think everyone ought to find a couple things they’re interested in as hobbies and just dare to make content about them.

Lots of niche communities have the problem where no one posts because no one posts. At some point, you have to just pull the ripcord and start the darn thing, even if it takes a while.

I’ll hop into inactive communities for things that interest me, and after posting for a bit, others eventually show up and start commenting/posting too.

If you build it, they will come!

Definitely more of this, there are a lot of cool people with different interests and no spaces for it. Make the content and people will come

For some things it might also be good to make partnerships with other spaces, such as niche subreddits

I’m trying to do my part in my niche, I’m still 90+% of the posts. I don’t care tho, I’ll keep posting for all 25 of us as long as I have content to post.
