I never feel like I have something worth posting. I’m pretty boring and unoriginal.
Yeah, see, I couldn’t even come up with that
Being as good and cool as a poster takes practice.
Stop being afraid of failure!
You just lack self confidence
Don’t forget, the best way to get accurate information and stimulate discourse is to post horribly wrong information.
Wait… is this comment accurate information or horribly wrong information? 🤔
Doesn’t matter. Now we’re engaging, which means it’s working.
Be the post you wish to see in the world.

My biggest concern is that Memes are the most prevalent content in Lemmy. Its like I’m back on 9gag in the mid-2000s.
just block the memes community
There’s plenty of other content to contribute too. It just takes a little bit more effort to find it now that we’re all starting fresh.
Well… With this meaningful comment, I’m doing my part.
Are you promoting them?
Not really, I should start doing that but was hoping that people fleeing reddit would search for them.
First time commenting. Hello fwiend
👀
Yep it’s a little frustrating some days, I have lots of posts with 100+ up votes and…1 comment…
If we want this place to thrive people need to contribute to the conversations more not just doom scroll and shit post
One percent content vs votes. That is a healthier community than you think. The ratio of reads to posts will be even higher.
We just need to create a sustainable level of content while people discover that Lemmy exists,
The biggest problem is “join a server / start a server”. There needs to be a “join any server, still see the best of all communities” option. People come knowing they have heard they should sign-up for Lemmy. They have no idea what server they are looking for. Regardless of what they choose, there needs to be a way of getting a snapshot of “what is happening on Lemmy”. People will self-select and gravitate towards individual communities later.
The magic of places like Reddit was immediate access to a lot of content first and specific content second. People started with Trending before they even knew what a sub was.
This is my first comment just to say that complaining about lurkers reminds me of when I first joined reddit 12ish years ago. Coming full circle!
I see communities with 50 subscribers thinking “there is no way this is sustainable” for years.
The effective community size is bigger. We just need to start figuring out how to harness the overall Lemmy community. The ecosystem will start to take shape as we use it.
You and I are from different communities but I am commenting on your content through the magic of the “front page” via Voyager.
I admit I am being a lurker on Lemmy. But I also always have been a lurker on Reddit…
I’m doing my part!
“If you build them, they wil come …”
I live to lurk!
