I guess this is a me trying to figure out how to grow lemmy or fediverse in general. Just getting frustrated and want to do something constructive and put idea out and have idea come in.

In me head I head this line of "will you after engagement grows will you improve a project or will you improve a project to encourage engage" to me the answer settled on keep doing what you can to improve project and kinda hope it increases engagement.

For lemmy it seems as though the technical side is solid it's just building lemmy communities. Right now I'm thinking of building a Florida c/ but it would come off as a hard endeavor because idk what I'd do with it. Would I post random new stories in Florida would it be politics. Plus I've been told that posting links "clutters the Internet" and people would get confused as to where to find original links. Then there's getting people to a Florida c/, do I just go into discords and tell people about a fledging group

I do want geographical based c/ since they are more personal to people and would increase engagement on lemmy but that small steps that need to be worked out.

I do wonder if it would be worth it do sneak content from reddit to relevant c/. I know they do it for NSFW subreddits, but it might be worth it for hyper specific subreddits just to have that content to engage with, but that could be viewed as an IP infringement

About size, Lemmy and Kbin (RIP) were pretty slow 2~3 years ago. Now, even though I block most generalist, region-specific and news communities, I still struggle to keep track of my feed.

And if someone tries to build something good as a job, I don't think this job of his should be turned miserable either.

I have no idea what turned miserable mean. I've been leaving him alone as best I can, I keep encountering him unintentionally.

If you're a backer (of any person or project) you should ask questions and expect answers. For me personally I'm forward with my project, that way someone can take it over or build on top of it

Sorry. I guess the miserable part sounded different than what I meant. I some times mix the meanings and usage of words, even in my mother language. That part was meant as an extension of the "be nice" part from a previous comment.
