You want to see Lemmy succeeds? Here are some ideas to contribute with content
If you want Lemmy to succeed, stop lurking and contribute with some content:
- Take inspiration from your saved Reddit posts
- Share a photo you took with your phone
- /c/microthoughts and /c/showerthoughts for random thoughts and observations
- Share interesting quotes, links, articles, videos, etc. that you saved (E.g: Youtube liked videos)
What else do you suggest?
I was never much of a posting or comment person on Reddit, but I am trying for Lemmy. I refuse to go back to Reddit and I hope I can contribute to these communities. Let's do it folks!
That's ok. I've shitposted hours a day for years. Reddit was a tapestry, and we're slowly removing the best threads from Reddit's tapestry and reweaving them here.
I posted maybe two dozen things, mostly text, and lurked maybe commenting 10 times a week, despite using bacon reader 16+hours a week. I'm trying to participate more by commenting. Maybe posting will become more of a thing if I find some relevant communities.
Your right right I was on reddit for eight years, and never commented once. This seems like a good reason to start.
Some more ideas:
- Cross-post content from Lemmy to Reddit: to get people from Reddit to Lemmy
- Cross-post content from Reddit to Lemmy: to get content in Lemmy
- /c/asklemmy is an easy way to add content. Answer a question or ask one.
- You can bring moderators from Reddit by handing them the sublemmies you created (in case you're not interested in moderating)
Participate in discussions if you don't feel yet like posting new stuff, even small comments help building up a community.
Agreed. One of the biggest value-adds for forums is the back and forths that bring in more ideas and information than just what was in the posted link.
I'm actually just scrolling here to reply to some posts here as I was used to being a lurker in Reddit. More content, more engagement, more fun!
Posting comments is also helpful.
Just started on Lemmy. I love how new things pop up but is there a way to not have things show up but not necessarily resort to blocking the community. Star Wars memes for my example.
This will be fixed in the 0.18 release
Are there any judgement/advice type communities?
Those were also popular and were often sent around creating buzz about Reddit. And memes, jokes, funny etc.
Yeah. AITA is one of my favorite subreddits, so it would be nice to have a similar community here
Looks like there's a few of these! Good tool to search for these across Lemmy is Lemmyverse btw. I don't know if there's similar for Kbinstances yet.

Should we just start reposting stuff from Reddit, too? Or is that frowned upon?
We're gonna need NSFW content to make this baby successful.

I've started taking some of the better content from r/nootropics and posting it in a new sub and crediting the user. Years of great info that will be stuck in Reddit if not brought over.
One of the things reddit has over its alternatives is the vast amount of content it already gathered over the years. Sharing that content here might give people more consideration to join. Also i get why people frown upon reposts, seeing the same over and over again. But there are always people who haven't seen it. So under the right circumstances i encourage reposts, especially with useful posts.
It also feels different when there's no karma to gain and it's properly credited
