  • Used to use Sync and I still prefer it in a lot of ways, but I can see the writing on the wall what with ljdawson not having reared his head for well over a year. That app will stop working when Lemmy 1.0 rolls out.

    Switched over to Summit and I’m slowly getting used to it. Still missing some features and options and having some bugs, but overall it’s good and I think it will grow into being the best app for me in the future.




  • I comment a shit ton and often with absolute banalities. Especially on posts with 0 comments.

    My reasoning is twofold: first of all I want to encourage posters by engaging with their content so they don’t stop posting. Second I want to invite others to comment and it’s much more inviting to do so if a post has at least one comment. People tend to think it’s dead otherwise and not bother.

    I think at the current level of MAUs there is no comment too small, and every little bit helps just by virtue of breaking the silence.











  • If this is the best thing you can do, then the second best thing is be active. We’re still content starved around here. If you think of something to post, post it. If you can’t post, try to comment. Especially on any post that has no comments. Doesn’t matter how banal your comment is. Nothing scares away potential new users more than seeing post after post with 0 comments in their feed, and nothing disheartens posters more than that “0 comments” under their post.

    People are generally scared or reluctant to do things when nobody else is doing them. They don’t want to post in communities that don’t already have recent posts. They don’t want to comment on posts that have 0 comments. So whenever you can break that silence and be that first post or comment, try to do so.
