Lemmy

There is no engagement algorithm; it's us :)

i just feel so foreign still, then again, everyone does, but it's hard to find the will to interact when you feel foreign, ykwim? like being a stranger at a party, it's all fun and all but it feels pretty hard to just approach a random group of ppl and be like "henlo guys my name is johnathan and i'm here to show u my cat", lmao, but yeah you're right we gotta push it a little bit. no other way to start than by starting.

I think one of the challenges is explaining the concept of how instances work. How to visit other instances, etc. It's an issue mastadon has too. It's not very intuitive to the non-tech savvy.

I'm a little confused on how to find more communities to join. I'm on the feddit.nl instance, and I know I can subscribe to communities on any instance, but there isn't really a search button or anything like that, at least not on the Jerboa app. Is there, like, a user guide on how this shit works?

After years of lurking it’s still hard to break the habit. But I’m really liking this fediverse and will push myself to become more engaged.

Good suggestion. I was always guilty of lurking on Reddit in the past, I'll make more of an effort here. 😊

I wanna see more hot takes in the gaming community. Let's get some arguments going people. Tell me what popular game is overrated garbage

Okay, hello ♥️

I'm confused by Lemmy but also excited to try and help it grow.

I joined Lemmy today. I've been getting into Mastodon recently as well and I have to say the comfy feeling I'm getting from the governance resiliency of FOSS and federated spaces(FFOSS?) is wonderful. This has the same feeling as when I first tried GNU/Linux so many years ago. :D

Yes! We want to read what you have to say!

Although I’m almost exclusively 100% a lurker I will try my best to make posts and post comments and stuff! Hope more folks from Reddit will join us and help make Lemmy a formidable competitor to Reddit.

Greetings! It looks like kbin.social opened up registration again, so here I am!

I would also suggest starting communities! The bystander effect is strong, dont worry about things too much right now as everything is still relatively small.

Commenting for the engagement as requested, sir.

We are having a hard time now. Lots of issues due to the volume. We need to ramp up the server hardware.

One thing that might keep people off is how communities are created/duplicated on Lemmy. I mean you can have the exact same community but on different instances. Then you start asking yourself which one should I join? or perhaps both? This definitely will confuse people.

I'm trying to create a community, but the 'create' button just turns into a spinning circle, and nothing happens. I've left that tab open for more than an hour.

So insteat, here's my first comment.

Hi all, another Reddit refugee here. Glad to see communities forming!!
