        Find anything, really. Look at your interests and hobbies and share your experiences with those.

        I’m sharing photos I take in multiple communities: cats, aww, toads, birding, etc. I also periodically comment in the communities I’m subbed to so others have things to reply to.

        Be the change you want to see in your community.

    Where am I gonna post? One of the 12 meme communities that make up 99% of posts, or one of the 12,000 communities where the last post was four months ago and it had two comments, one of which was a bot summary?

      The fact is that if you arent into Linux, piracy, shitting on Elon or communism a lot of Lemmy is pretty shit.

      I was super active on Reddit in a lot of communities that are just straight up wastelands here.

        Are you complaining about the niche communities not having any activity, but not posting anything there yourself? I could’ve sworn i saw a meme about just such a thing, if only i could find it.

        But in all seriousness, most “dead” communities have many lurkers that are joined but not posting, so posting there isn’t necessarily a waste of time

      I personally am 99% of the posts in one of said niche communities. Plants won’t grow if you don’t put effort into growing them, why would communities?

    Pff, I’ll have you know that I created a single post in the past 5 months. I’m doing my part!

    Maybe the default mode for new users should be top-6h. I’ve been using it for a while now and the flow of content is perfect.

    I don’t post. I didn’t post on Reddit and I’m very likely not going to start posting now.

    I’m simply just not interested in making posts and won’t bother

    Sometimes I’m the only one posting in some smaller communities. I looked back one day and was like, shit those are all from me.

      Just post about what you find interesting and try to put a funny spin on it. I’ve made posts about all sorts of topics/cultures that I’m genuinely curious about whenever I make an observation that I think could make people chuckle.

    sorry. but at least I don’t complain. I love this place and it’s people as they are and never going back to reddit.

    I’m going to keep posting this everywhere it’s relevant: if you downvote oc, you are discouraging more people from posting.
