Familiar faces resurfacing is nice and only possible on a smaller sized platform. Or clicking someones profile only to see a post I previously saw or commemted on.
I’ve thought the same thing multiple times. But that also means we don’t have enough users or content yet. I’ve seen multiple communities that interest me, but sometimes (too often) I quickly learn it’s a ghost town.
Yeah ghost towns are an issue, but the fact that the sub exists means that there is atleast one more imterested person there. Ive been poting in the taskmaster sub now to try to get some traction and atleast 2 or 3 people are there and I’m hoping it can grow. I suggest the same, shout in the town square to make sure there isnt a drunkard passed out who you didnt miss.
Link it, I love taskmaster

Hope this works.
Thanks, the link fixer bot got me through 😅
Lol funnily enough I was talking about blocking all bots in another thread. (repost bots but still)
What I really like about Lemmy is that there is no CCP controlling it
I certainly wouldn’t claim that’s not a good thing I suppose
I’m on the fence.
Back in forums, it was pretty cool to see the usuals.
“Hey Mudbutt69, what’s up ToeFetish, how are you Shoves_sharpies_there…” but then it often came like a extreme echo chamber. Or sometimes you see the same names and immediately upvote/downvote.
I always did like the 4chan approach, but that anonymousness just led to jerk behavior.
I dunno where I lean.
Having a home instance feels like your local neighborhood where you get to know your neighbors
Hey, are you planning to mow your lawn anytime soon? It’s really becoming an eyesore 🙄
We got a goat to take care of that 🐐
Huh, maybe I need to be more proactive about deleting and recreating accounts here. On Reddit, I would do it about every year or two, and that seemed to work pretty well.
I value my privacy online, which is why I’ll never again have a Facebook account (deleted mine years ago), and why I never used a valid email on Reddit. I guess this means I’ll probably need to recreate my account every few months instead of years.
What I like about lemmy is quite different, I like that there’s no incentive to get popular here. Karma isn’t a thing, there are no awards, and the audience isn’t big enough to attract as many narcissists.
Anyway, I hope to earn your votes with whatever my account is in the future.
Karma absolutely is a thing, your app or instance just might not show that to you
Sure, and since most apps and instances don’t show it, it likely has less of an impact on people. I’ve never particularly cared, but it seems enough people do to make the experience worse.
Yeah I am amazed by the personal interactions and connections that I’ve formed here, they’ve been the most rewarding part of Lemmy for me. There is not a single redditor who would recognize my reddit account after 10+ years on the platform, but I’m sure there’s a good number of Lemmings who already recognize me, and indeed know me, or at least the personality I express online.
Treasure these times, because someday Lemmy will outgrow this phase if we start getting much larger.
Please don’t perceive me.
Yeah, me too. I may not be comfortable speaking a lot so this is all one directional, but running into Stamets and Picard Maneuver outside of Star Trek subs always makes me go “hey! I know this person!”
