I see many communities that got started in the last ten days. Sadly, some that I’m most interested in are not that active. Some are not active at all.
What are you doing to help your community? How do you go from lurking to contributing? Spreading the word?
Also, what’s for breakfast?
What am I doing? I’m letting it grow naturally instead of posting condescending low effort crap like this post
That would imply that I have some sort of duty to participate. I do not.
I am doing what I would have done on reddit, comment, interact with people. I rarely made posts over there as well though. I do also tell people about lemmy and about the jerboa for lemmy mobile app
I have nothing interesting to post about. I’ll just upvote and comment here and there. If I find a community I like, I will engage more often.
I’m not posting. And I need to be. But I’m voting like a motherfucker.
Many hands make for a lighter load. When the time is right you’ll find what you want to post. Thanks for all of the updoots.
Trying to! This comment is testing federation stuff, so we’ll see if you see this over on lemmy.one!
Definitely saw it over here at lemmy.one.
👍
This is a good start.
I’m trying to be more vocal than I have been in the past, specifically because if everyone lurks, there’s nothing to read. So even creating silly chat threads is a good start, to drive engagement.
I’m making an app with a focus on streamlining pain points for user signups, and discouraging looking for centralized lists of the biggest groups by “crawling” the network for servers and communities based on what you see and who you interact with. I hope by making this easy, I can push smaller, more diverse communities in the fediverse
It’s getting close. I’m almost at the point where I can switch over to my app from jerboa for daily use, and then I’ll try to put out a beta
I had grits, I really need to go grocery shopping
That sounds good. My experience with finding an instance was just a shot in the dark. It would be good to have an app that helped in finding an instance that met your needs.
Open invite for all musicians to head over to !songcovers on the reddthat.com instance and post their cover videos! I’d love to get that community going but only two posts so far!
Better start contributing yourself first :) We all flock to content and building a community takes time.
I started by posting into my favourite communities !simpleliving@lemmy.ml and !minimalism@lemmy.world. Starting to feel like it’s getting traction now. I’m sure many checked the communities out and didn’t stay because there was nothing to comment and no questions, and creating a post can be intimidating. Go for it!!
Breakfast: Air and water because I wake up too late to work every morning…
Currently not doing enough to help. Real life has just been far too eventful lately and I haven’t been online much haha. But I will try to convince people to subscribe to some of the sports communities my instance is hosting. Want to help grow it.
Besides that, just upvote as much as possible and comment as much as possible, and throw out posts for a community even if you think it’s not that interesting. Just need to fill up the wall and show there’s frequent activity and the people will come
Also, what’s for breakfast?
toast and coffee, as (almost) always
I’m honestly just trying to post content to communities I’m interested in. If people show up and there’s no content they’ll just leave. I’m trying to submit interesting posts.
One thing has always amazed me about social media, you never know what will catch the community’s interest. My rule is if I find it interesting and I have the time, then up it goes. Thanks for your many posts.
I’m doing my part. I’m posting on here and created a new magazine. Sure it’s not the most active but there’s only so much I’m gonna do about it.
Concentrate on just a few communities to comment and post. It’ll be too easy to spread yourself thin and feel overwhelmed. If you feel you’re very knowledgeable in a particular area then that community needs you now.
Yep. No time to be active in every community. We should focus on just a few each day.
Good points.
