Might be easier to ask for suggestions of where to post whatever content you mean, and have people point you in the right way.
“I want to post content. Its not news. Its not a meme. Its not a question”.
Ok well, is it a video? Music? A blog? Traditional art? AI generated images? Relating to fitness, martial arts, some other sport?
You should ask where to post specific content. Not where to post some nebulous thing without saying what it is.
ok, where do i post a thread in which i suggest people to do what you just said?
I do not understand what you are asking.
You want to post a thread somewhere that directs others to different communities?
I would like to share and repost the advice you just gave me. I think it's a good example of something that doesn't fit in memes/news/questions and isn't part of a specific category
Any of these seem like what you are looking for?
I really don’t understand why you need to share my advice though. I have no idea how your original post / question then relates to these follow up comments. Good luck!
It’s like “sell me this pen”. The pen is selected because it’s there, on the desk, at the time of the interview.
Your advice was used as an example of content, because it was there. Do you understand?
I do not. that makes zero sense in this context
Not sure how it doesn’t make sense. You provided some advice. What if instead of responding to a question, you just had that advice and wanted to put it out there.
Do you not see how your comment is an example of some content that could be in a post?
In the most technical sense, you could copy paste the body of your comment into the body of a post. The question then becomes, what community would be the right place for that post?
Im following you now. a hypothetical “how to use lemmy” community would be the right fit?
Casual conversation?
is there a sub for it?
Thanks man i'm gonna subscribe. I wish more people were using these casual subs, frontpage seem to be fill with meme and news
Assuming your instance has it, use the "block" feature on communities. I like to browse the "all" version of lemmy.world; but ya, it's a lot of memes and stuff I don't care to engage with. So, I'll open a new tab to that community and hit the "block community" button. That community no longer shows up.
You can also block specific users. I use this on a lot of the re-post bots. Similar procedure, open the user's profile and "Block User".
It makes browsing "all" far more enjoyable.
Also check out:
Find a category for what you want to post and look for relevant communities or create one.
Example: A link to metal music could go into [email protected], there are also communities for more or less specific categories, ie [email protected] or [email protected].
It depends on what it is, I would start with a community that fits the content.

(This question is neither a meme or news, so it fits the category it is asking about)
