I am doing what I would have done on reddit, comment, interact with people. I rarely made posts over there as well though. I do also tell people about lemmy and about the jerboa for lemmy mobile app

That would imply that I have some sort of duty to participate. I do not.

What am I doing? I’m letting it grow naturally instead of posting condescending low effort crap like this post

Trying to! This comment is testing federation stuff, so we’ll see if you see this over on lemmy.one!

This is a good start.

I’m trying to be more vocal than I have been in the past, specifically because if everyone lurks, there’s nothing to read. So even creating silly chat threads is a good start, to drive engagement.

I have nothing interesting to post about. I’ll just upvote and comment here and there. If I find a community I like, I will engage more often.

I’m making an app with a focus on streamlining pain points for user signups, and discouraging looking for centralized lists of the biggest groups by “crawling” the network for servers and communities based on what you see and who you interact with. I hope by making this easy, I can push smaller, more diverse communities in the fediverse

It’s getting close. I’m almost at the point where I can switch over to my app from jerboa for daily use, and then I’ll try to put out a beta

I had grits, I really need to go grocery shopping

I feel like I’ve been glued to kbin since joining, and adding new posts and articles to the smaller communities I want to see active. With varying degrees of success. I was only a lurker on reddit so this is quite a lot of activity for me! Trying to embody the idea of ‘be the change you want to see’…

I don’t want to create magazines though as I don’t want to moderate and feel they would be better created by someone more dedicated.

Oh and breakfast was a sesame bagel!

I‘m commenting as many things as I can think of and upvoting everything, but other than that I haven‘t contributed much. It‘s a work in progress.

Open invite for all musicians to head over to !songcovers on the reddthat.com instance and post their cover videos! I’d love to get that community going but only two posts so far!

Also, what’s for breakfast?

toast and coffee, as (almost) always

Better start contributing yourself first :) We all flock to content and building a community takes time.

I started by posting into my favourite communities !simpleliving@lemmy.ml and !minimalism@lemmy.world. Starting to feel like it’s getting traction now. I’m sure many checked the communities out and didn’t stay because there was nothing to comment and no questions, and creating a post can be intimidating. Go for it!!

Breakfast: Air and water because I wake up too late to work every morning…

Concentrate on just a few communities to comment and post. It’ll be too easy to spread yourself thin and feel overwhelmed. If you feel you’re very knowledgeable in a particular area then that community needs you now.

I’m doing my part. I’m posting on here and created a new magazine. Sure it’s not the most active but there’s only so much I’m gonna do about it.

I’m definitely becoming a kbin shill to all my friends and I think they’re starting to get tired. I’m trying my best to leave comments on posts that I find interesting. Haven’t posted anything yet because I don’t have anything to post. I will post when I find something interesting enough (I do have a backlog of stupid memes on my camera roll?).
Breakfast was a granola bar. Slept in because it’s a holiday and I don’t have class. There’s a cinnamon roll I was planning on saving that I’m now eyeing.
