I’m especially curious to know if you made your own instances or communities. But if not, what other notable things have you done?

E: I guess I forgot to mention what I did, which was make a community and various posts. Considering making a full instance but I’ve never attempted something like that before.

    I go back a couple times a day to lead those that won’t convert to ad-free modded versions of the official app so reddit can’t make any money off Android users by cramming ads down their throats.

    Also been trying to lead more people to kbin.

    So far it’s just commenting and upvoting. The mobile interface isn’t the best tbh, but I’m hoping to dive into everything on desktop when I have time this weekend.

      If you’re on Android you can just install the browser version as an app on your homescreen and it works better in many ways than the app currently does (no shade, it’ll get there).

    I’ve made more posts than usual (I usually only comment, not post).

    I’ve also posted a bunch of issues to the kbin issue tracker and investigated the code for a few. Maybe at some point I’ll actually contribute some changes, but admittedly setting up a dev env is a pain in the ass and I do enough dev for work that I don’t usually have energy for more.

    As I get more and more into the idea of just staying here (I really was hoping Reddit would have just pulled its head out of its ass), I may also recreate some communities that aren’t yet here. Last I checked, my city didn’t have one here.

    Been commenting and trying to post a little. I did make my own community within the instance that I joined. May make a second one soon.

    Made various posts to help communities I’m interested in get off the ground, advertised my fave ones on other social media, helped a lot of people out during the influx earlier in the week so hopefully a few less of them bounce off Lemmy due to confusion. Haven’t started any communities because I prefer to try and help build existing ones.

    (I did briefly consider making a craft-focused instance but had a look at the docs and the tech requirements and noped out lol)

    engage with content I like, try to produce some posts on communities that are dear to my heart, showing my critical gf the cute animal pictures and derpy jokes I find here.

    I’ve been making at least 20 comments/day. It ain’t much but it’s honest work.

    I was closer to 20 comments per year back on reddit

    Commenting, upvoting, boosting, and seeking out inactive magazines on topics I’m interested in, then making posts. My local magazine would be /m/stlouis so I’ve made a couple of posts there. No traction yet but I’ll keep at it.
