It's only a week old. Give everyone a chance to get their feet under them.

I agree that people need to post to keep communities alive, but it's okay to grow slowly! I feel like people are still trying to understand what their daily flows are like without Reddit. Going two days without new posts, especially with how early this all is, doesn't feel like a bad thing to me

edit: oops double post

YSK: I can’t think of anything to post 😂

I really don't want to see forced content, quality over quantity

Well I found this post on active so that's a good sign!

I am be honest and say i am having a hard time keeping up with the content on Lemmy now haha which is a king of cool issue to have.

I am busy with life so that's doesn't help but like I wake up now and there is a lot going on Lemmy.

Still thanks for being vocal about your concern for the community and its activity.

Maybe I should post and then lurk later? Probably 😅 There is a lot of habits and adjustments after Reddit.

One thing is definitely tru tho. I go back to Reddit and oh boi do I feel bored and just think "I wonder what are the Lemmings ups to", you all are doing fantastic here.

These places were just born to begin with. Can't be dying if you haven't yet been growing!

mb, I'll try to post more lol

There are tons of magazines getting set up across several instances. We need time to see which ones succeed.

@clueless_stoner it'd help if the fedverse was more seemeless. like in wow: realms, zones, and servers all crosstalk without any issue at all. I fail to get how somewhat less competitive but equally socially "challanged" group of people aka geeks and nerds. can't refactor the code to do so. or maybe that's in the works.

There is a lot to be said for the current UX on the mobile environment when compared to what most of the Reddit refugees are used to. The web app, for me, is a miserable experience and I find the iOS apps are more user friendly even in their infancy. That said, due to how new they are, the apps are still missing key features - they great for browsing but I don’t see that either are able to make new posts as of yet. That means either making due with the web app for all usage or bouncing between the apps and the web. It’s definitely going to hamper people from posting OC, especially because a good portion are likely heavy mobile users.

To clarify, I am not ragging on the devs for the web app or mobile apps, this is a young project by comparison to what most of us are used to and I appreciate all the hard work they are doing. Yes, many former lurkers like myself need to step up the OC game, but the community as a whole needs to be patient and understanding as well. No community will die so long as there is an interest in the subject matter.

Anyways, that’s just my two cents as a former heavy lurking redditfugee.
