A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Totally understand. But the only solution for a lack of content is creating some ourselves. A community of lurkers will have no content to lurk on.
Oh, I've been creating a lot of tech content, like my old days on Reddit. These days I mostly lurk on LGTQ subreddits though and idk how the Lemmy community feels about that (not that I have much to post in that regards anyways, link/forum wise)
That's great! What content are you missing from Reddit?
(not op but) I primarily used reddit as a collective watchdog. If something of import was happening, it would be on the front page rapidly.
It's how I found out it became legal for me to marry in 2012, and it's how I found out it became legal to kill me in Florida in 2023.
Mostly just general content and discussion lol. I know, I'm not being part of the solution of adding more content/discussion lol.
It's not easy. I'm going to make an effort but I'm much more of a lurker.
I'm trying to find areas where i can actually contribute but at the moment it doesn't seem there are many of my interests here yet.
Yeah, I've started just posting anything that seems interesting while trying not to flood the place. I'm pretty deep into the tech world so it's been mostly tech, but I'd highly recommend posting content that interests you and I'm sure it'll interest others.
If you're using a lemmy web interface (as opposed to an app), there is a cross-post button you can use to post in other communities that are tanginately related (if you decide to create a community for your topics).
I was thinking of that... I have a few videos i could share.
At the moment I'm having trouble logging on, though. Lol
/r/buildapc and /r/buildapcforme. Has been helpful to get a general idea of what parts to get and feedback on if the build is balanced for what the user intends.
/r/buildapcsales, /r/gamedeals, /r/consoledeals are other ones. There's sites like isthereanydeals and pcpartpicker, but those subs have come in helpful for catching deals I would have missed.
