We also need comments. I created this comment so we would have comments

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 24 points 1 year ago (3 children)

And I also replied to this comment so that there would be engagement.

[–] SharkDeparture@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (3 children)

To create further engagement, as well as begin participating, I am writing my first comment on Lemmy.

[–] Enasni@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

To further encourage engagement I am replying to this comment by saying: beans

I'm the comment that parrots the above comments right before the 'load more comments..' link.

Just wanna remind folks that when Steve Huffman founded reddit it was just him and a couple friends with dozens of alt accounts. The first decade of Reddit’s life it was just ripping content from Digg and 4chan to rehost.

Lemmy will grow, and probably in a very similar way.

Legit though, it needs to be quality content.

There's no point to it, if content churn just turns lemmy into the worst parts of reddit.

[–] dnick@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing poorly

[–] Progrockfan@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree with you, but how do you know it's quality before posting it?

I created this meme to create better content

[–] Rootiest@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait.. should I have created a new post?

Should I have added more beans?

[–] MiriMyl@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe you should have BOTH commented AND created a new post!

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are comments content? I'm a prolific commenter, not much of a main poster. I mean... I get my shit from here (previously Reddit), because browsing the rest of the internet fuckin' sucks now. I don't wanna repost stuff, especially at this point in time for the service.

[–] Rannoch@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Same, I thought about posting some memes/comics I've saved over the last year or so, but then I realized 95% of them likely came from some reddit post at some point. And just reposting those here without remembering where it came from felt bad, so I didn't. But then I have nothing to post. Ahh!

[–] hawkwind@lemmy.management 5 points 1 year ago

If all the memes are the same are they different?

[–] xantoxis@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Fuck that. "Content" is what social media CEOs want. It's the garbage you shovel in front of eyeballs so you can sell those eyeballs to advertisers.

Tell a story. Make something that's fun. Make me feel something. Don't create "content". You aren't a "content creator". You're a person. Make something interesting to other people. Don't be a CEO's fucking content monkey.

[–] where_am_i@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago
