Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

I never post much on reddit, I go there for entertainment etc.

When I came here in 2021 I saw the content drought and started posting links to stuff, mostly what I had found on reddit. I don't know if that's the best way to do it, but at least there is something to look at here.

Now the situation has gotten better, but I already see it slowing down a bit, or conversation mostly revolving around reddit and the API situation (or this post, lol).

Please consider posting random or interesting shit, memes, whatnot. Don't feel pressure about the quality of the posts, the voting system generally takes care of that and I think that there is no shame in posting something that doesn't take off.

Tl;dr: If nobody posts, nobody can comment or lurk

This is a great point. The only reason lurking is even possible on Reddit, is because of the decades of content and hundreds of millions of active monthly users. In it's infancy of 2005 and into the early days, lurking was not possible. Lemmy is very much in the early days, but it doesn't have to stay there. Although, I think we would all appreciate less shitposting as exits on Reddit, but your heart is the right place haha
