Go for it! WE get to bikd it however WE want! And the Fediverse can sort by boosts. That's your 'this answer solved my problem' or hell even go back and edit your comment to indicate the post that solved your problem.
This is what I'm getting at. We can only control ourselves, so let's be tenacious in posting more here. Again it doesn't have to be a technical question. It could just be "hey I had this issue I fixed it withblah". Whatever you're passionate in.
Hi from piefed.social. we have alternatives to Lemmy world. We can literally go anywhere and talk. So let's spread out and talk. Takes the load and responsibility off of one instance.
Idk if others remember, but Reddit had a LOT of technical challenges early on. Twitch was down constantly. YouTube was flaky early on. The technical part can be handled by those building the platforms and supporting the Fediverse. What can WE do RIGHT NOW? My thought is communicate, share, talk, empathize, listen, etc.
Lol I didn't mean in this exact post. But I love the question! Go make a post in a relevant community and get conversations moving. Even if you think only you are interested, I've found lots of folks share similar ideas and dont even realize it.
If you can't find your answer on Lemmy or anywhere on the Fediverse, just ask. We need all kinds. No one answered after a few days, ask somewhere else. Use these moments to kick start conversations. It's more work, but it'll be worth it.
Go for it. Don't attempt to rebuild a community from scratch, or do, but you can post anywhere that's relevant and if there's interest build that community.
Love it. As long as we're active IMO. Random people saying there's no content, let's give them that content. Let's be here enjoying ourselves, talking, sharing, and they'll come. But we have to be tenacious. Support each other as well. Less thumbs up and more actual comments. COMMUNICATING is what the internet is for. Sure thumbs up, but make a quick comment on a post. Get interacting
Oh yeah, not a competition really, just post anything and on any Fediverse platform. We need to dog food the Fediverse. Let's stop taking the easy way. Sure, find an answer if you like, but come back here tondhare with all of us. We need to build our own library of Alexandria.
Saying knowledge is probably a poor phrase. Build community, building information, sharing likes and fears, sharing anything (within reason obvisouly), but SHARE. One of the reasons those places we consider toxic grow, is because that on standard channels that shit didn't exist. Our stuff does, but it's basically locked away in a matter of speaking. We have to rebuild it. And we do that by sharing and talking and listening and empathizing and trying new things and supporting each other.
I'm definitely not saying Lemmy is the perfect place for this at all. I'm saying the Fediverse is. Post your questions and answers and thoughts and passions and comments and jokes and ideas to ANY platform on the Fediverse. Your ideal platform doesn't exist? Talk about THAT instead or of you can BUILD IT. we're at a cross roads. The old tech is crumbling and we need to build a new better community. It won't happen over night, but it also won't happen it we depend on the old ways. Christine Weber, cocreator of Activity Pub made a comment recently that revolutions are run by those that show up. I'm here, let's start a revolution. :-). All it takes is us just talking, guiding, learning, putting our egos aside putting our worries and fears aside and rebuilding a new community.
Exactly this. We need to start investing in the Fediverse and stop depending on Reddit or any of the big techs. WE all built their content. We can do it again FREELY.
I'll never downplay a library. They're wonderful. But I'm talking more about how we make the Fediverse more and more valuable. Yes go to the library and then share what you find on the Fediverse.
Absolutely! Or start having conversations in a current community and if enough are interested build a new community. I've been adding content to my little communities and even though they're not very active I just keep posting. The founders of Reddit said they had multiple accounts and were acting like it was social until it took off. I'm not saying we got to that length, because I find that creepy, but we need that tenacity.
100% this. SHARE anything and everything. Pretend like the internet doesn't exist and it's day one. Build it.
