I’m not gonna lie, sometimes it feels a bit lonely. I try to post on a few generic communities
- !interestingasfuck@lemm.ee
- !casualconversation@lemmy.world
- !movies@lemm.ee
- !lego@lemmy.world
- !map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz
- !comicbooks@lemmy.world
- !avatar@lemmy.world
Sometimes I can be the only poster for a few weeks. Makes me requestion the relevance of posting at all. I started posting to !pics@lemmy.world recently just because at least my posts are widely seen, and other people post there as well.
I haven’t been posting / commenting as much recently because I’ve been busy with life stuff, but I do like seeing the posts (ex. I enjoy seeing the Lego posts). It would be nice to have more comments, but otherwise I usually upvote or save the post
One thing I’ve noticed is that even on Reddit, there are more posts with lots of upvotes and no comments. I’m not sure why that is
I’m planning to get posting again, but what I’ve found is that a lot of posts in the niche communities didn’t go anywhere. Then every now and then a post takes off and a lot of people see it.
Best is when other people start posting too (ex. !publichealth@mander.xyz ). I guess it takes time for an active contributor with similar interests to find the community, since others might not encounter enough content outside of Lemmy to post them
Could these be from repost bots?
Most probably
Definitely. I’m kind of waiting to find another poster on most of my communities, feels almost like searching for a soulmate ha ha
Yeah, even one other poster is definitely motivating. Shout-out to @llamacoffee@lemmy.world for their posts in !spacex@sh.itjust.works and !spaceflight@sh.itjust.works!
!leagueoflegends@lemmy.world please! I know you people are out there.
Just contribute anything. Early participation is important.
Ah, it’s you, welcome here! I haven’t followed the LoL scene since a while, but I’ll try to contribute
MSI starts on Wednesday morning.
I see! I just posted, it’s not much but it’s a start
Bro! The feeling is mutual!
Just trying to keep adding interesting content to the community, in the hopes that other reddit migrators find a place full of good stuff and discover what a breath of fresh air we have here.
Welcome here!
A lot of people simply are lurkers. I know so many people irl who browse sites like reddit, 9gag, news sites or whatever all the time, and never in their life would consider to post comments.
Oh, definitely. The 90 lurkers - 9 commenters - 1 poster ratio seems to apply on Lemmy too. It might even be less, because it would mean that out of 50k people, there would be 500 posters?
