It's starting to feel just like any old social media/forum but with less users...

I started enjoy lemmy a lot more when I embraced a more active hands on mindset.

I opened a community for my niche metal detecting hobby and post every find I can.

Then I became a mod of several communities I was really into and embraced my creative side to give them glow-ups. Custom animated artwork and high quality banners. Detailed descriptions and change-logs. Still actively posting in them to keep alive.

I try to make one meme a day in gimp and shitpost somewhere. Sometimes its loved, sometimes its dogpiled, Lemmy got its engagement either way mission accomplished. The computer should be used as a tool of productivity/creativity sometimes not just entertainment machine.

I'm so happy its a small social media. I have a chance to make a difference and be seen and socially network. To be motivated to post and have people recognize my pseudonym and help fuel the growing of a platform I believe in. This isnt a smaller reddit or the next successor to dig. Its a return to web 1.0 defederated BBS with a shiny new coat of paint free from corpo bs I'm so here for it.
