Fediverse

I definitely started commenting more because of this post thanks

A'ight you won, gotta say something for today. But i hardly understand how people do manage to be social enough to post almost every day, like, they manage to make everything interesting.

It usually takes me 30-40 minutes to find the strengh to post something. How others will react to it, or is it even meaningful to post it, I find myself facing theses questions as much irl as online.

Anyways, it truly is a very nice place here, I agree with you, thanks to thoses amazing posters who never get out of inspiration. Thank you all.

I upvote a lot, but I don't always comment as much as I should. I often find that I may or may not have anything particularly new to add to the comments.

There's like 5 people that are firehoses of content that are keeping lemmy alive.

I just realized something: When I search for something in Lemmy and get zero results, I sometimes go to Reddit and search there.

It would probably be better to make a new post in Lemmy about the thing I'm searching for. It would add content to Lemmy, and the content would be newer and fresher than the Reddit results that are sometimes 10+ years old.

I’m doing my part!

I enjoy Lemmy because I tend to get a response. Despite the higher pop at Reddit, I often go ignored. It’s not unusual to have a back and forth chat with another commenter in a given thread here.

It shall be done, friends

Aw what a nice sentiment 🥰 it has inspired my first reply here

Sometimes I debate on making a comment, and sometimes I simply don't have the energy to complete one. But sometimes, I think, "every comment grows Lemmy a little bit more" and decide, fuck it, I'll say something. People might like it, people might not like it, but you never know what can grow from such a little spark.

I appreciate Lemmy in this regard. We live in a world with many voices trying to drown out each other for a bit of public attention. It's enough to make some people think their own thoughts aren't worthy and to stay silent, discounting their potential contributions. Having a platform that's low-stakes, where people aren't chasing internet fame, gives many of us an opportunity to express ourselves for the sake of expressing ourselves. Having this outlet is vital for many of us. I'm glad to be a part of this community, and it is truly a community. I have no idea if anyone recognizes me, but I definitely recognize other frequent commenters. It's almost like we're neighbors, not in physical proximity, but with a shared gathering space to meet and share our thoughts.

And I love that.

No u

This is not a personal account, it's one for a site I'm building. I know many won't like that as it might come as spammy, corporate or whatever, but I have decided to use Lemmy as a place for discussion -in a related community- and Mastodon as the one for news and updates (together with old good RSS) and I have done it because I believe in a federated web.

I'm tired of walled gardens and billionaire-run feuds -and every web loading endless MBs of scripts from a dozen of third-parties (I mean, sometimes it can be justified, like on very complex sites... but not on a damn text blog, come on!)- or not working with my OS/browser of choice... and I want the Fediverse to keep growing and become not only a viable alternative but -and here I'm just daydreaming, I know- the default.

And to this point this post made me realize that it won't happen on its own -not the way most people are, anyway- and that we/I need to put more effort on it. I'm culprit of just signing up and... well, waiting. And that won't work. So thank you from bringing this matter to me, and I'll try to do my part from now on, if not with this account with a personal one.

OK I guess this is my time to say hi!

So, hi!

I created a community for my erotic fiction on the lemmynsfw site. This is the link: https://lemmynsfw.com/c/DominatingChloe

I would love to hear your thoughts if you are into such things.

Not only that, but also creating new communities too!

Nice post, and thanks. I usually only comment and vote but have not created posts yet. That is my goal for 2026, to post at least one thing. I'm scared of the potential hateful insults I would get for posting something but I can be a dick sometimes, so I get it.

My instinct is to lurk even in this thread...

Hi. How's your day/evening been? Learn anything new today?

One valuable way to grow Lemmy: pick a feed that interests you, even if it's got almost no traffic, and just start posting on it.

Whether you source your posts from equivalent subreddits, or other social media, or from relevant articles you come across in the news, you can - through 10-15 minutes per day of direct action - quickly create a valuable feed for others.

Much like how the best way to grow an in-person gathering is to commit to just keep showing up for a while, even if it's only you. It works in the fediverse too.

The problem with contributing is that most of my Lemmy browsing is done while I'm on the can, and phone keyboards suck.

1,800 comments and counting! One of them might even be valuable to the conversation.

Sooo is water wet, or it just makes things wet?

Hello everyone!

Nobody really cares what I have to say.

But I was born a lurker :(

u know what? maybe we should start actively advertising the fediverse in local hacker clubs and such.

Well I agree. I post on lemmy or mastodon-like first, then only after on Reddit if I must. Many times I get a few but meaningful replies, that’s good.

Can’t comment, lurking.

I post

I try, mostly through comments and votes.

Don't tell me how to live my life.
