Reddit was awesome. It’s sad what became of it. Jumped ships that took me to Lemmy-kbin Land!

I love games, gamification and chat roleplaying, socializing with people, volunteering, different lists and difficult topics!

  • I’d just ignore such folks. Plus I have yet to meet those folks - even after 62 posts I have done!

    I don’t go for Internet points only. That also fuels me to trying coming up with something of quality, but it’s also the good discussions and possibly providing something interesting to folks to read/look at and to make them even think about stuff that gets me going 😄 Kicking in some extra activity in these communities!
    But the same can be achieved with comments - you’re right with that one.

    Making a post can require more thinking and effort, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I have spent more effort on a comment than on making a post!
    The feel and interaction is different with a post and a comment. A post can wake up all sorts of commenting and a post is “more visible” to people who sees it as they scroll away. Comments of course also provide activity within a post/community, may generally be less visible to more people (you have to click a post open to see comments) and they can also gain all the off-topic commentary on them - just like in a post.

    Not saying that commenting is worse than creating a whole post. Both have their reasons to exist and their places to be used.









  • I think we should cherish commenting too.

    Creating posts is not the only way of making engagement. Even though it’s better than having a community of 0 posts, I still would be sad to look at a community that has one new post daily but doens’t get any votes or comments.
    Within time not getting engagement can become demoralizing to the content creator. Why bother if you don’t get anything in return? (Been there, felt that - and in many occasions.)

    • If you get a million views in YouTube, can you gain a small income through that?
    • Can you partner up with other names/creators to raise awareness/visibility to your own name/work?
    • Sometimes you need to keep standing your ground. Explain how it is and if they don’t believe you, ignore them.
    • Do you wish to get money? Is this a hobby?

    .

    I think it depends how a post you create is doing. What the community you choose is, what is its activity, what kind is your post, what materials you use (text, images etc)…
    To my knowledge (of one month), it’s easier to get any sort of engagement (being it likes or comments) from one cute or sad comic image than from sincere, deeper discussion of whatever topic.
    We are fighting against people’s time. How should they use it?
    And then again - we use these services for different purposes. Some of us jump in for a quick lolz off pictures, while others delve for hours in all sorts of peculiar discussions.

    (I’m not so much of a content creator - at least when it comes to something else than text. But I try to do my part in all sorts of communities that interest me to kick some engagement around this place 💓
    I’d like to see this thing taking off and getting at least some of the activity what Reddit gets)
