I know a lot of lurkers like me out there are browsing, but there’s quite a bit of engagement capitol on the federated instances. If you find an interesting topic and the right community, you get a lot of feedback. There’s not much hate being thrown out there either.
Do rabbitholes belong here? I’m a full on spelunker of them, but I fail to see how they align with this community as it’s geared towards tips and tricks.
Rabbitholes, to me at least, are those bits of mental lint that don’t really serve a purpose other than to expand your knowledge base. Their depths can vary, but are typically very complex (deep) in nature. Like the fall of the Ottoman Empire or some shit like that. Does it influence your day to day functioning? no. Is it interesting? yes.
I think by “here” OP meant the fediverse in general, hence “an interesting topic and the right community”. I would guess this is just encouraging people to post more in general (which I appreciate as I was mostly a lurker for my 13 years on Reddit)
precisely so thx
One of the things I’ve enjoyed about lemmy; posts/comments feel far more engaging and don’t get drowned in thousands of comments that often don’t contribute much if anything.
You don’t like when the first half of a thread is shitty puns and the same stupid jokes nonstop? Weirdo
There was something comforting, though, about the predictability of it all.
Noted, thanks for feedback.
