Phillet's cut the "Reddit" circle jerk and start actually making content
Track_ShovelI'm with you. I've been posting Q/A thread in /c/chat and a few memes as I come across them. I've also been participating in some pretty interesting threads around here
SpezCanLigmaBallsWhat is this chat you’re talking about?
davysnavyThen post some interesting content. Posts like this aren't helpful
Well they are encouraging to a degree but please next one of "these" maybe next week? Meta complaints are really drag if they're repeated over and over again.
TragicNotCuteI just posted a cat hunting it's own tail here. I'm doing my part!

CaptainApatheticDoes stealing memes from discord servers and posting them here count?
Asking for a friend....
bdonvrOnly if they're good
Everything I see on Discord that I think is funny or interesting goes to lemmy. I'm a discord repost bot.
The content must flow
Good bot
JWBananasHell, steal 'em from the other place.
Remember MrBabyMan?
They say the next GallowBoob has already been born...
chrizbieGo for it my guy
hoshikarakitaridiaI wanna post a meme but my instance has issues with image uploads :(
I'd consider switching instances... but you can also just upload images elsewhere to a filehost with direct linking! I like Catbox.
Good call
What a neat little website! Thanks for this!!
tartarsaucecompletely unrelated to your comment but fez pfp! nice game
Thanks :D my favorite game
They’re strange to me as well. Some of the communities I’ve subscribed to have already started being active. It’s very encouraging.
They are, though. They’re encouraging and reflect a sentiment other can relate to.
ArcanusBe the change you wish to see in the world
I have , amazingly I decided to start two communities, something I have never done before despite the fact I had a 12 year badge and thousands of karma at the other place.
We don't talk about that other place
We don't talk about steve-o!
Huff-mo?
Spezzo?
Idk. I'll try again after more coffee.
ickplantI tried to create a community twice now, but it just sat there spinning after I hit "Create." I'm trying to contribute, dammit.
Yep, sometimes this is happening to me I just open another tab and often the circle spin is irrelevant and the post or whatever has already been created , seems to be a issue with the system.
It looks like there is already a community with the same name, but when I go there to subscribe, it says "removed by mod." maybe that's my issue. Because even when I try to open new tabs and navigate to the community I'm trying to create, it's not working.
Check your profile to see if you mod anything
Nope, no luck. But I'll figure it out, I'm determined. I really appreciate your help!
If you do some googleing there are some pretty good faqs out , although it did take me a while, good luck
So I changed the name of the community, and it was created instantly. It looks like the other mod created a community with my desired name then deleted it, but the name was still taken. I'm now a proud mod of my own community, https://lemmy.world/c/bipolardisorder. Thank you again for your help!
OMG I have experience,so glad you got it sorted and good luck with the community.
Thank you, friend!
myklYes, the group name remains with a deleted flag set. I’ve seen an admin for its home instance go in and delete them when it was brought to their attention, so that’s an option for anyone else having this issue in the future.
That makes sense, thank you for the info!
I never posted on reddit…but luked for a very long time but I want this place to be better the reddit so bad and so…
CzeleThis might be a good opportunity for You to join new promising communities
Yea... see... the problem is that I never create content, i just browse...
BlackCoffeeYes who is gonna post the first AskMen about;
"What is the sexiest sex you ever sexed?"
ImFresh3xI was always a commenter and a voter, not a poster. But I’m gonna it to make an effort to post in communities that I have interests in. Gardening, food interests, photography, hiking, current events, travel, video games, finance/investing, etc. It’s not something I’m used to doing. And it’s gonna take some effort at first, but I’d rather start a new habit here than go back to that other place.
This is what I am talking about let's get making content, I have a feeling that the best minds have been removed from Reddit, or at least I would like to think that 🤔
iAmTheTotPosts like this are just adding to the reddit circle jerk, you know. Don't post shit like this, just post the content you're talking about.
relative_iteratorIt’s a very fresh topic and still ongoing so of course it’s being talked about. Eventually it will die down then go away. The stuff we don’t need is posts like this.
JamieMaybe we need a post complaining about posts complaining about Reddit so we can complete the cycle until we need to add another link into the chain.
all for those sweet sweet kbin points
MeowdyPardnerYep, having a bunch of front page posts complaining (not trying to put it harshly) about the content just makes it look like the problem is worse to outsiders and doesn't help perceptions. Let people talk about what they want, but vote accordingly and people will get tired of talking about reddit as less and less people engage with those posts. This post being here is causing more reddit-related engagement. Upvote the kind of content you want to see and it'll rise up higher, becoming more visible and creating a virtuous cycle of positive engagement.
Likewise, my only time spent on reddit is to upvote reddit drama discussion. Doing so will help push people who are "just tired of the drama and want to post" to find the fediverse a more enticing place to participate in.
Great comment
talAlso, it's relevant to a lot of the userbase.
I do agree with the idea that it's good to get more content up, though. Go find a couple interesting things a day and submit them. I have!
There are also some people at the BotIt magazine on kbin.social working on setting up a bot to mirror Reddit subreddit submissions to kbin magazines, which might help ease disruption for some subreddits.
klinfirst iteration of botit actually is able to do what you mentioned now: https://kbin.social/m/BotIt/t/48548/BotIt-GitHub-project-can-now-cross-post-highly-upvoted-links-from
"Can you guys just start posting the content I like, please?"
I don't like all the reddit posts either but sheesh
I mean, I feel him to a degree. Since Lemmy isn't quite as big new posts are harder to come by
A much better method is to make a post explaining and encouraging how to contributing to the fediverse. That was what got me posting, someone said something to the effect of "if you really want to see the fediverse thrive, then start adding content to the fediverse!"
Good point, although I don't feel qualified
You are a human being. You have wishes, dreams, joys, anxieties, hopes, opinions, knowledge, and wisdom. You possess an inner child as well as a rich heart, an amazing mind, and everything in between that makes you, you.
You're qualified.
You are too kind, I am so happy here now, feels just like the old days again
𝕾𝖕𝖎𝖈𝖞 𝕿𝖚𝖓𝖆Been uploading pics of my cats, a few old memes I have that made me laugh again, and even one of my old car. Believe me, some of us are trying!
