I’m especially curious to know if you made your own instances or communities. But if not, what other notable things have you done?
E: I guess I forgot to mention what I did, which was make a community and various posts. Considering making a full instance but I’ve never attempted something like that before.
I try to interact as much as possible
engage with content I like, try to produce some posts on communities that are dear to my heart, showing my critical gf the cute animal pictures and derpy jokes I find here.

I am actually writing a better Android/iOS/Web client for lemmy :) not sure when it’s gonna be ready though as I am already busy enough but keep an eye for an announcement maybe in the next month or so :) the idea is that its heavily inspired on the Infinity client for reddit.
I’d love to see it and maybe even use it! Keep up the good work for the community!
I’m so desperate for something like Apollo that I’ve downloaded Xcode and am going to try and learn how the hell any of this works.
Oh sweet. Infinity was what I personally used for reddit. Very underrated in my opinion.
Eyo, me too! Which language/framework?
I’ve been making at least 20 comments/day. It ain’t much but it’s honest work.
I was closer to 20 comments per year back on reddit
Same here.
I read the stuff people post.
consoom
I post news I find interesting or neato
So far I’ve made 2 or 3 posts, more than I did my time on reddit, I offered help in a new community, and I’ve left an unhealthy amount of comments lol.
I’m engaging in worthwhile discussion, which I think is super important, cause for some like me, they’re really here for the comments.
I got my long time lurker SO to come over, and actually make posts, 3 so far which a huuuge deal for her.
- Forked and fixed PDS so users can mass-edit comments and clean up / remove content from Reddit, while leaving a sign of the issue
- Wiped my own accounts clean, editing all comments, deleted accounts
- Have not gone back to reddit (won’t go back)
- Started a community I didn’t see here (trying to start another but bugs)
I wanted to edit my comments, not remove them.
Reddit implemented a 5-second cooldown editing comments. PDS would report all comments edited but only a smattering of them would be in actuality. The last post on the PDS subreddit ( 2 years ago or something like that) was about this very issue.
So I found a fork that had implemented a 5-second timer on comment edit operations and then finished the rest of the work: updating the bookmarlet, creating a new codepen, updating versions, readme, etc.) Hooray for open source!
i’v been taking part in discussions all day, learning what i need to learn to be able to help, then getting ready to do specifically that.
i’v also been cluing some of the more confused reddit mods in to where this place is and figuring out how not to get shadowbanned in the process - make a reference to motorhead instead of naming lemmy himself. hopefully we’ll get the earthquakes mod here soon
I’ve used lemmy and kbin exclusively since the 11th and haven’t given Reddit any traffic during that time
Been commenting and trying to post a little. I did make my own community within the instance that I joined. May make a second one soon.
I created a community for my regional area (Appalachia) and I try to interact. Posted pics of one of my cats, got the other to do next!
I created two communities for things I work on and enjoy, one for BlueMaxima’s Flashpoint, a project I contribute to, and another for Audrey Hepburn.
I’ve also been posting daily more or less to multiple communities. I gained mod status on one after getting in touch with the person who created it who had been inactive for three years and polished it up with rules, a banner, and linking similar communities in the sidebar.
Also been trying to get mod status on another community to try and liven it up a bit as well, and am going to try for my local one should a local personality’s request fall through.
So far it’s just commenting and upvoting. The mobile interface isn’t the best tbh, but I’m hoping to dive into everything on desktop when I have time this weekend.
