I just realized something: When I search for something in Lemmy and get zero results, I sometimes go to Reddit and search there.
It would probably be better to make a new post in Lemmy about the thing I'm searching for. It would add content to Lemmy, and the content would be newer and fresher than the Reddit results that are sometimes 10+ years old.
I’m doing my part!
It shall be done, friends

Hi. How's your day/evening been? Learn anything new today?
Been great, Thanks!
I post
OK I guess this is my time to say hi!
So, hi!
I created a community for my erotic fiction on the lemmynsfw site. This is the link: https://lemmynsfw.com/c/DominatingChloe
I would love to hear your thoughts if you are into such things.
Bruh, who starts a conversation like that? I just sat down, Sarah.

Not only that, but also creating new communities too!
I had an idea, but solarpunk covers most of what I want to do.
I upvote a lot, but I don't always comment as much as I should. I often find that I may or may not have anything particularly new to add to the comments.
Don't worry about it, in places like Instagram and YouTube - even twitter and R*ddit - people are leaving comments like "bro said [thing previous commenter said]"
And that's fine! Let's be social and authentic and just happy that there aren't bots pretending to be people here
Yeah honestly there's no point adding meaningless chatter either. I like the comment sections here because it feels like people have let their words settle in their minds before they started mashing the keyboard.

I like peas and mashed potatos.
I think I'm still a little concerned about account security especially in these scary US fascist times. Trying to take the safest course of action but I am still burnt over by reddit and its hard to wipe your accounts there too now...
Hello everyone!
I enjoy Lemmy because I tend to get a response. Despite the higher pop at Reddit, I often go ignored. It’s not unusual to have a back and forth chat with another commenter in a given thread here.
I find it hard to keep a conversation going, maybe lack of skill on my part but usually idk what to reply and hit a dead end. So most of the time I just upvote in appreciation for taking the time to respond.
If you don't know what to reply, then don't. Seek out communities, posts, and comments about stuff you enjoy talking about. Especially when it's a positive light.
This is a good insight; sometimes I feel like I have to know stuff to make a meaningful contribution, when maybe just cheering on can be enough.
I mean, perhaps if you're lost for content you could just give the back story to your username?
Ooh that’s an easy one, it’s from this comment, credits to OP.
I’ve seen variations of it around here in other comments too, but this was the first one I saw and it cracked me up, so I took it. I’m some bigot’s worst nightmare
And backed it up with a class thumbnail, nice haha.
I had added it as pfp but then read someone saying smth about how "bad" handmade art is better, I liked the idea to try and make a silly drawing myself, then never got around to it.
Sooo is water wet, or it just makes things wet?
A singular water molecule is not wet, but add any more and now each molecule has water sticking to it so it's wet
Wetness is an illusion. An artificial category imposed on what we call reality by our minds. Which are also illusory. Everything is an illusion. It's all as meaningful and purposeful as the patterns dust makes in a whirlwind. That's all we are- dust in the wind. Everything is dust in the wind.
Your bones are wet right now. 😂
u know what? maybe we should start actively advertising the fediverse in local hacker clubs and such.
Aw what a nice sentiment 🥰 it has inspired my first reply here
Water makes my eyes wet
I second that!
I'm out here trying to get a group going all by myself 😅 I'd be super grateful if someone broke the ice
Looks like you've got a good community going there. Not sure i have much to contribute, but we do have some crossover with the associated communities.
The problem with contributing is that most of my Lemmy browsing is done while I'm on the can, and phone keyboards suck.
Trying to do my part. So happy to have this site.
Sometimes I debate on making a comment, and sometimes I simply don't have the energy to complete one. But sometimes, I think, "every comment grows Lemmy a little bit more" and decide, fuck it, I'll say something. People might like it, people might not like it, but you never know what can grow from such a little spark.
I appreciate Lemmy in this regard. We live in a world with many voices trying to drown out each other for a bit of public attention. It's enough to make some people think their own thoughts aren't worthy and to stay silent, discounting their potential contributions. Having a platform that's low-stakes, where people aren't chasing internet fame, gives many of us an opportunity to express ourselves for the sake of expressing ourselves. Having this outlet is vital for many of us. I'm glad to be a part of this community, and it is truly a community. I have no idea if anyone recognizes me, but I definitely recognize other frequent commenters. It's almost like we're neighbors, not in physical proximity, but with a shared gathering space to meet and share our thoughts.
And I love that.
Ok fine
How to comment when I just can't relate to things, people from my country are not on this platform so there are less relatable things here
Find your community.
I am sure you like stuff that people from EU and US like.
I tend to forget I actually have an account even though I follow my subscribed page. I have been only reading the internet for too many years.
