I’m sure many new users are curious.
If you want Lemmy to be successful, contribute as much high quality content as possible so more people will be inclined to stay here. Don’t lurk.
There isn’t explicitly a profit motive on here (unlike almost every other big social media site).
So you can do away with the clickbait-y, karma or like farming…
We don’t do that here.
Just wait until things grow. Those people will come once there is an audience to extract money from.
On that note, upvotes and downvotes upvote matter even less here (“here” meaning kbin) as the factor dictating comment order in the “hot” ranking is boosting (think retweet equivalent), not the vote count.
Not sure how that goes on Lemmy though.
- Until we have migration tools, think of your account as disposable
- Never upload anything you don’t want the world to see, no matter how private something claims to be
Can you explain the migration tools, or lack thereof.
In the mastodon/Calckey world you can migrate your account on one instance to a new account on a new instance and all the people following you will transfer and automatically follow your new account. So you don’t have to be all “Hey moving to [xyz new instance] follow me there!”
That’s something that’s in the works for kbin and Lemmy some day
