Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Welcome to the dark side.
One suggestion: Niche communities are still not as active as Reddit. If that’s what you’re into, try to find the niche communities you’re into that are moderately active and try to leave comments daily. Or posts even. Be the change!
Tap for spoiler
i need to be better that this tooYeah I’m starting to notice that. But I’m gonna keep exploring to get a feel for what I like and see what’s active and I’ll be sure to post and participate.
Nice! It's crazy how much difference just a little activity makes.
There are plenty of dead communities here, but even there you'll usually see a few folks around, upvoting when something does get posted.
But many of the communities I see that are active (beyond the biggest few topics) start out or mostly consist of just one or two people consistently posting. Every post or comment is a jump-in point where someone else may get involved.
