I never post much on reddit, I go there for entertainment etc.

When I came here in 2021 I saw the content drought and started posting links to stuff, mostly what I had found on reddit. I don’t know if that’s the best way to do it, but at least there is something to look at here.

Now the situation has gotten better, but I already see it slowing down a bit, or conversation mostly revolving around reddit and the API situation (or this post, lol).

Please consider posting random or interesting shit, memes, whatnot. Don’t feel pressure about the quality of the posts, the voting system generally takes care of that and I think that there is no shame in posting something that doesn’t take off.

Tl;dr: If nobody posts, nobody can comment or lurk

    This makes sense; tough I always have a crisis before actually posting, because I think that the link isn’t interesting enough or relevant.

      Statistically most posts will flop. But they won’t be seen by many, while those posts that are of big interest will be seen :)

        Shouldn’t posts be less likely to flop here though? The communities have less content, so they move slower and people have more time to see a post, making perfect timing less relevant, as opposed to reddit for example.

        I agree with the crisis comment though

    I have posted and commented more today than in my last month in Reddit.

    I feel needed.

    Also it’s going way better than in mastodon, I don’t even knew how to Twitter.

      I agree with this. Some years ago I WANTED to get into social media, but never managed and understood why people thought it was so addicting.
