Just wanna remind folks that when Steve Huffman founded reddit it was just him and a couple friends with dozens of alt accounts. The first decade of Reddit’s life it was just ripping content from Digg and 4chan to rehost.
Lemmy will grow, and probably in a very similar way.
I’m down

Dude all I see with this meme is Jack Ryan. Reminds me I need to continue watching the 4th season.
Legit though, it needs to be quality content.
There’s no point to it, if content churn just turns lemmy into the worst parts of reddit.
If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing poorly
I agree with you, but how do you know it’s quality before posting it?
That’s always the problem lol.
Like, with memes and humor, as long as it isn’t reposted left and right, it’s good enough.
But beyond that, you run into so much subjectivity that it really comes down to where you’re posting, and who is going to be looking at a given C/.
As an example, let’s say you’re into android tablets, so you come to lemmy after reddit has pissed you off. Your first searches are going to be for places like r/androidtablets, right?
Well, you can’t just r/insert term the way you can on reddit. C/insert term doesn’t work unless the instance you’re on happens to have already looked for it with the lemmy format.
So, you have to look around a bit, and you’re likely to run into android@lemmy.world fairly quickly, right?
So, someone wanting to post about android tablets is going to be quality content there, but wouldn’t be at technology@beehaw.org because, despite being a form of technology, it isn’t where the person is going to be looking (and it isn’t what that community is for anyway).
Niche stuff as an example like that may seem to be tangential, but it serves to show exactly how subjective “quality” is, and why it matters for retention. Niche forums are why people were so devoted to using reddit as compared to other options. We can get news anywhere, but connecting with other fans of clop porn is a hell of lot harder, and lemmy isn’t as easy with discovery, so the more niche things get, the better the content has to be when someone does finally find your c/.
Eventually, I’m sure either the lemmy devs, or one of the app devs, will find a way for us to search for C/s across all of the fediverse at once, rather than having to know the instance to start. But, until then, placeholder posts do more harm than good. Shit needs a little meat to it.
I created this meme to create better content
Wait… should I have created a new post?
Should I have added more beans?
Maybe you should have BOTH commented AND created a new post!
Are comments content? I’m a prolific commenter, not much of a main poster. I mean… I get my shit from here (previously Reddit), because browsing the rest of the internet fuckin’ sucks now. I don’t wanna repost stuff, especially at this point in time for the service.
Same, I thought about posting some memes/comics I’ve saved over the last year or so, but then I realized 95% of them likely came from some reddit post at some point. And just reposting those here without remembering where it came from felt bad, so I didn’t. But then I have nothing to post. Ahh!
If all the memes are the same are they different?
Quality over quantity 😎
Fuck that. “Content” is what social media CEOs want. It’s the garbage you shovel in front of eyeballs so you can sell those eyeballs to advertisers.
Tell a story. Make something that’s fun. Make me feel something. Don’t create “content”. You aren’t a “content creator”. You’re a person. Make something interesting to other people. Don’t be a CEO’s fucking content monkey.
Sir this is a Wendy’s

This guy doesn’t know how social media works and why people use it
no, lemme instead ask a question about reddit vs lemmy!
Can create comment. Is enough?
No. It would be enough if you write Beans!
Therefore… beans
Beans beans the musical fruit, to more you eat em the more you keep the meme going
💯
