I'll post my puppy everyone likes puppies.

This is me not lurking

Definitely. Everyone on Lemmy at this time seems very reasonable as well and I am finding that the discussion is typically of a much higher quality than on Reddit, so for those who don't usually engage, try it, it's definitely worth a shot here.

Don't tell me what to do, I'll engage when I'm ready >:(

hol up

Alright... this marks the end of my lurking lifestyle then, I guess ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Using the jeroboa app rn and it's fairly intuitive.

Another lurker here. Been well over a decade and this is the first time I feel like contributing again. Really hope the fediverse catches on this time.

Testing cross-instance posting from my own

Totally agree, we need to build for the long term. Engagement has power.

Hey people of the internet. So if I’m going to not lurk, and if I have a really weird sense of humour and am downright unfunny to most of my friends, where is my community here?

but i don't have anything to say

other than fuck spez of course

I saw Lemmy has already grown a lot over the weekend and I'm all for it getting bigger! To be honest I also feel a lot more motivated to actually post here instead of lurk.

And the community seems super nice so far!

Always a bad sign when one of the top comments is trying to compel users to engage.

Me not lurking

After 14 years on reddit I’m tired of watching it die, the death of Apollo is what pushed me over the edge, I loved Apollo. I’ve been browsing in here for the past few days. I like it. Trying to get used to it. Fuck reddit and u/spez all of the situation was trash. Thank you all for recommending this site!! I’m excited to be apart of it!

There is no engagement algorithm; it's us :)

Trying my best! I have an account on lemmy.ml but with the increase in traffic I’m barely able to use it! Moving to this one which has already helped. Anyone reading this feel free to send a message and say hi!

I couldn’t agree more!

In effort to try to add value to posting, I found a mobile app for iPhone. It’s clearly in beta. I’m not associated with them at all, and I hope they don’t mind me posting the results of my Brave search.

I lurk most of the time because most of the time i have nothing to say

Oh, that’s interesting, the reply box is all the way down here. I’ll see what I can do here as far as activity goes, I don’t know what fediverse is but it sounds like something worth taking part in.

You're right, I'll try. I enjoy reading, but often get overwhelmed with trying to respond, so I end up just giving up and not finishing my

Do we get any benefit from hosting our own Lemmy server? I am a tech nerd and love new IT projects. Sorry if this is off topic, please redirect me someplace else if there is a better thread to ask my question in.
