    Telling people to stop treating the normies like they’re inferiors.

    Seriously this platform is full of people who think they’re smarter than everyone else and people who take being privacy aware to a point where clearly they’re just making their own lives more difficult

    Along with trying to add contributive posts here and there, I’m also trying to be more mindful about upvoting. I think most us like to see appreciation and acknowledgement of our post efforts, so a little upvote goes a long way towards encouraging content creation.

    Voting, commenting, sharing content and news articles in relevant communities nearly ever day. Reporting spam. So basically, just actively participating.

    I’m still using reddit (desktop only) until they shut down old.reddit. That’s been my line in the sand ever since the redesign was launched. So whenever possible I do my best to recommend lemmy and/or explain how it works to anyone interested because I think Lemmy would appeal to most redditors. The problem is the average person has it in their head that the fediverse is a lot more complicated than it actually is. Everything can be learned as you go. Which is exactly how I learned the ropes on reddit 12 years ago. But since so many people insist on having their hand held I’ll jump in to help out when I can.

      For Android users, recommend Boost (which just launched). It used to be a Reddit client, then the dev made it for Lemmy. I did try to get into Lemmy without a solid app, but couldn’t do it. Boost changed that for me. Now Lemmy is as smooth as Reddit was. Recommending an app that makes it as easy as Reddit might help for some people like it did me. :)

    Posting about all of my magnet fishing adventures on [email protected] in the hope that people find it interesting and that maybe one day I won’t be the only person making posts there.

    I originally just wanted to join a magnet fishing community, but I found that there wasn’t one so I made one myself and starting posting.

    I try to post relevant content to a few niche subs. It’s slow going atm but Rome wasn’t built in a day. Right now it’s just two obsessed fools posting in turn, in a few months or years, who knows? There might be three of us by then.

    Posting humorous comments to get people to laugh more.

    Even better when I self depreciate myself to make someone smile.

    Posting content that is critical of right-wing and fascist ideology in a community that is full of conservatives.

    They deserve truth.

    I’m running my own instance dormi.zone dedicated to a niche videogame (Warframe). Currently looking to upgrade it with automated weekly posts and a custom lemmy-ui theme.

    Besides that, I’ve done a few small contributions to projects like lemmy-ui and the lemmy-explorer.
