Hello Everyone!
I am still enjoying Lemmy and think it is a great place to be! However, this place seems to be low on any content. I understand that we only have around 2.2k people and that is to be expected.
Do you guys have any ideas for driving engagement here and sharing more of what we are doing and what we are looking to get or recently got? I try to share some lights and post every now and again, but I don’t want to make like 5 posts a day.
Do you think we should have a BST thread like on Reddit? Perhaps some weekly discussion thread with projects we are doing or maybe we can discuss a different brand or company?
What do you guys think?
For me, just keeping it friendly, upvoting interesting questions or posts, and commenting when I think I might have something of value to add.
We could probably all have a lower threshold for asking questions like “what’s in your pocket right now?”, “What’s your most recent purchase”, or even just “I love this light because…”. Five a day from just you is not realistic, but I think you’re on the right track. As well as creating some activity, those sort of posts might inspire others to do the same.
A bigger, more active community isn’t the goal for me, but discovering cool stuff I didn’t know I needed, or getting a window into other people’s passions are. I get those two are related - which is probably where your question is coming from.
Lok discovered this post on the main page and thought flashlight was some sort of highlighting Lemmy community stuff.
Nope literal flashlights.
Love it.
