I try but I rarely post. I did seem to kinda revive the [email protected] community so that's dope. I hope people keep posting there.

Honestly, I feel more comfortable participating on Lemmy than I ever did on Reddit or Twitter.
Ehm.. OK? Gosh, this is hard.
Totally agree, we need to build for the long term. Engagement has power.
I couldn’t agree more!
In effort to try to add value to posting, I found a mobile app for iPhone. It’s clearly in beta. I’m not associated with them at all, and I hope they don’t mind me posting the results of my Brave search.
Replying from the Mlem app!
Solid app so far, can’t wait to see future updates.
You're right, I'll try. I enjoy reading, but often get overwhelmed with trying to respond, so I end up just giving up and not finishing my
Do we get any benefit from hosting our own Lemmy server? I am a tech nerd and love new IT projects. Sorry if this is off topic, please redirect me someplace else if there is a better thread to ask my question in.
The main benefit is being in total control of your experience on lemmy
If you're on someone else's server, you don't really have any control of federation, and your instance admins could just decide to defederate some instance that you enjoy seeing content from without your say. Similarly you may want to defederate from an instance, but on a public server you'd have to appeal to the admins to do so for the entire server.
Other than that it's mainly a "because it's cool" thing
Interesting comment here, please upvote
Ok here's a meme that is unrelated to anything we're discussing but always cracks me up:
test post please don't ignore
Always a bad sign when one of the top comments is trying to compel users to engage.
I feel personally attacked! I will not tolerate this, and I will do the one thing no lurker would ever think of under normal circumstances!

Same problem Mastodon had, the content consumers joined, but the content creators didn't, so there was nothing on the platform to engage with.
And let's be real, Lemmy is going to face the same fate when inevitably the Reddit protest ends in a couple days and everyone goes back to Reddit. Reddit is going to survive.

Is there any Android app that looks exactly like the website? I absolutely love the UI of the website but I prefer apps.

Much of the meme content is in the form of GIF and as fare as I see, Lemmy does not support uploading GIFs. Will this format be supported in the near future?
You can hyperlink to them, see my Rick and Morty gif a few comments above, i didnt upload that.
I think this will all be short lived and sadly most everyone will go back to reddit
Yes, people who are leaving reddit are making Lemmy more active which was the only missing thing to make me delete reddit entirely. Before that it was too slow to get new content but now it is alright, thanx to reddit, long life to lemmy .
