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.
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.
I read the stuff people post.

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 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.
Eyo, me too! Which language/framework?
Oh sweet. Infinity was what I personally used for reddit. Very underrated in my opinion.
Commenting, upvoting, boosting, and seeking out inactive magazines on topics I’m interested in, then making posts. My local magazine would be /m/stlouis so I’ve made a couple of posts there. No traction yet but I’ll keep at it.
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’ve made more posts than usual (I usually only comment, not post).
I’ve also posted a bunch of issues to the kbin issue tracker and investigated the code for a few. Maybe at some point I’ll actually contribute some changes, but admittedly setting up a dev env is a pain in the ass and I do enough dev for work that I don’t usually have energy for more.
As I get more and more into the idea of just staying here (I really was hoping Reddit would have just pulled its head out of its ass), I may also recreate some communities that aren’t yet here. Last I checked, my city didn’t have one here.
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.
Made various posts to help communities I’m interested in get off the ground, advertised my fave ones on other social media, helped a lot of people out during the influx earlier in the week so hopefully a few less of them bounce off Lemmy due to confusion. Haven’t started any communities because I prefer to try and help build existing ones.
(I did briefly consider making a craft-focused instance but had a look at the docs and the tech requirements and noped out lol)
I go back a couple times a day to lead those that won’t convert to ad-free modded versions of the official app so reddit can’t make any money off Android users by cramming ads down their throats.
Also been trying to lead more people to kbin.
Created a community and I’m trying to comment and upvote the most possible. Unfortunately, most people don’t do anything.
- 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)
Quwuality shitpowsting UwU
I’ve been commenting and interacting more than I would if this was on alien site.
That said, there’s a few communities I’ve noticed don’t exist that I’d like around, but I’ve never modded before and am worried about what the overhead is like to keep a community going.
depends on community size. only way to find out is to try. be the change… 👍
