What is your topic? I’m shit for OC but I am a slut for commenting (I’ll even argue with you and get you nostalgic for Reddit if that’s what you’re into). You just gotta pick one of my ADHD hyperfixations.
I can generate engagement like a crazy person. Too much even. I have too many opinions and you people are my only outlet outside of my partner.
Kansas City Chiefs is the community I started here. But I was active on Reddit in that, Kerbal Space Program, Baduk (Go), and space and science communities.
There are dozens of us! Dozens! Life was busy for a few months so I haven’t played much recently so I probably lost 2 ranks as it goes but I always come back to it.
Hahaha, I’ve never played seriously enough to get all that good. I’ve always been very firmly double digit kyu, but I love getting in a game when I can find someone who will agree to play. I’ve been getting more into online play, but I used to do pretty much exclusively physical games.
Controversial take but in the early days I think it’s fine if you replicate the content from the old Reddit posts (maybe even link to the post) as long as you don’t claim credit. I think people just wanna see things at first, and then the conversation can grow. It’s not like Reddit was chock full of OC.
That’s my thoughts really. Integrate content that’s being posted to reddit to flesh the boards out for the time being, and the communities will gradually grow on their own.
I’m sort of hoping for a forum/reddit-y combo. My god I miss forums for niche weird stuff that I’m autistic about, but I also like consuming media at an ADD pace.
Am I the problem?
Lemmy does feel a bit cozy, kind of reminds me of the best of those worlds. It’ll be neat to watch it grow… hopefully.
You are not alone, and I’m starting to feel that treating Lemmy like a federation of web forums instead of Reddit replacement would fit the underlying model better.
That’s because nobody on your instance has subscribed to it yet. Take the text (!findacommunity@lemmy.ml), and in the communities page, paste that into search. Switch from “Communities” to “All” in the search options, then you can click through and subscribe.
EDIT: Argh, got the text placement wrong. Whatever, good enough for a low-effort meme :P
!remindme 7 days
gotta have a milestone to see where my instance is based on this. will the meme be milk or wine?
Is there already a remindme bot?
i wish, ill be working on bots soon, one of the main reasons i fired up my own instance.
Ok what if you made the community and posted in it twice daily and now feel like you are talking to yourself?
Eventually someone will roll in and then you’ll just be talking a lot at them.
If you’re lucky, they might even talk back.

I was gonna do that but the subreddit I wanted is private lmao.
It’s probably back up, time to do what redditors do best- REPOST!!!

wassadifference - reddit was after all just a bunch of message boards that made it easy to skip from one to another.
Imagine if zetaboards - or whatever came before that - had come up with the idea to make it easy for users to cross between different boards.
Is there some place to advertise new communities?
Shoutout for mine, since I think I can get away with it.
There are 2 places:
!findacommunity@lemmy.ml
!newcommunities@lemmy.world
Ironically the first one is giving me a “couldn’t find community” error (I guess I have to search it first?), but the second one is good.
Thanks for the links!
