Any specific types of content you want to see more of here
More original content, less crap reposted via bots.
Just original content you don’t see anywhere else first.
Stroganoff unironically the best thing to happen to Lemmy yet
Can you explain the Stroganoff thing? I think I’m OOTL
Honestly I’m confused as well but might as well embrace it
I honestly don’t know. Shit just started everywhere out of nothing and that’s what’s great about it
I agree. Too much of Lemmy is just links to other content instead of people having thoughts of their own and then starting a discussion about it. There isn’t a real reason to use Lemmy if there is nothing here that is not anywhere else.
There are a lot memes here so maybe those are often original.
More stuff that isnt political
Hmph, classic Tory
😂
Just decent quality content for various topics which aren’t politics or tech. For the good of increasing the size of Lemmy, I think everyone ought to find a couple things they’re interested in as hobbies and just dare to make content about them.
Lots of niche communities have the problem where no one posts because no one posts. At some point, you have to just pull the ripcord and start the darn thing, even if it takes a while.
Definitely more of this, there are a lot of cool people with different interests and no spaces for it. Make the content and people will come
For some things it might also be good to make partnerships with other spaces, such as niche subreddits
I’ll hop into inactive communities for things that interest me, and after posting for a bit, others eventually show up and start commenting/posting too.
If you build it, they will come!
I’m trying to do my part in my niche, I’m still 90+% of the posts. I don’t care tho, I’ll keep posting for all 25 of us as long as I have content to post.
For me the fragmentation of the communities cause me pain so I would love to see less fragmentation.
Just do a search for any topic and there are at least a handful of communities all with varying member counts and no idea which one is active.
I’m a programmer so I like to keep up on some different languages.
Java has the few communities but still more than two Rust has at least 10 different communities And the list goes on.
I kind of wish there was some sort of centralization and that communities would either merge or disband but I only see this getting worse.
Ooh, having the ability for a community to set (and unset) itself to direct to another community of their choice would be cool in a baranganic democracy way
I googled around a little bit but didn’t quite understand. What’s a barangay/baranganic
a barangay is a precolonial / indigenous political unit in SE Asia that literally means “boat”; the ancient political structure was that a barangay (a group of people larger than a family but smaller than a tribe) would federate under a “fleet commander” and sail under their command (e.g. in times of war or raids). the barangay could withdraw their support at a low cost by literally sailing away and/or federating with a different chieftain.
a baranganic democracy is structured such that a group of people can stay together in their chosen community, but that community can pledge itself to a single decision-maker, with the ability to withdraw support at low cost. it’s a representative democracy, but the legitimacy and power of the representative is essentially proven by the consent and backing of the governed.
in a fediverse way, this could be like having a Lemmy instance pawn.social that federates with lemmy.ca and lemmy.nl, but with all three in mutual agreement that lemmy.ca is in charge of reduplication communities; lemmy.ca’s mod team then decides that in this cluster !memes goes to memes@lemmy.ca, !furry always goes to furry@pawb.social, !woodworking is wood@lemmy.nl and so on. that would allow both for server balancing and federation/defederation but reduce duplicates
TIL. Thank you for that very thorough explanation!
More activity in the hobby subs.
I wish people would actually use the writing and art ones in particular.
What are the writing ones?
- Video/film production
- Audio production
- More activity on https://kbin.social/m/truegaming (we got a little community but would love more posts! We’re fun I swear lol)
- home brewing
- coffee
- creative writing
Yes me too. I’ve subscribed to Lemmy.film Meta@ lemmy.film and Lemmy.graphics@lemmy.graphics and although both communities sure look promising, they are inactive.
Same goes with other communities such as the Blender one.
I’m a commenter mostly, I tried creating posts for some of those but didn’t get a lot of attention.
The fact is they probably should have made communities on an already existing instance instead of trying to spin up their own instances. But that’s neither here nor there. I just want to get into more discussions about these topics! Perhaps I should go join those instances and start posting haha
Niche content. I miss my balisong and machined pens communities. Some of them are in EDC. There’s lots of tech because only tech people would use this, if we make it as easy to use then more normal people would come over. Which is good in bad because it would essentially bring the regular reddit society over again.
God yes. I miss my cooking Subreddits. I haven’t really seen too much content like that. I pretty much only read asklemmy even though I’m on kbin. I don’t care for the memes and political news and it seems like that’s all there is.
Trackballs i came here because my favourite trackball group migrated here but there is very few posts from them now.
Link?
More hobbies, less doomerism. I don’t need yet another site telling me that the world is fucked by capitalism but it’s be nice to have another site to tell me how to beat those boomerang guys in Zelda 2
Askahistorian but it needs to have the same level of moderation
Yea the moderation tools just aren’t there yet for such a nicely organized community
Or much of the ability to search content on Lemmy
Community search yes, post/comment search not so much
One of the history communities on here is looking for mods IIRC, thought I saw a request on !moderators@lemmy.world
More personal projects by all you creative Lemmings. These are some of my favorite communities:
More content around individual games so there feels like more of a community here. Some times its like talking into the void.
Less political respost spam from multiple bots to multiple communities at the same time. Just gets anoying to filter out after a while.
Big list of game communities: https://kbin.cafe/m/gaming@beehaw.org/t/124541
Sweet, thanks chief.
More entertainment, whether the content is original or not.
What I miss from reddit are the funny videos, memes, the crème de la crème of tiktok and youtube. It doesn’t have to be original, it has to be high quality and entertaining or insightful. I miss the old r/videos before it got split into r/videos and r/publicfreakout.
Not always, but most of the time when I come back home, I want to turn off my brain, laugh and be entertained at random shit. I don’t want to see random political debate, outrage, etc…
I was actually surprised when the first thing that came to mind for this question was “funny videos.” I’m a pretty avid reader, and I like the discussions a lot, but there are a lot of good discussions here. There are also a crap ton on memes. What I don’t see many of is funny videos.
