Maybe some are waiting for Boost or other 3rd party apps but there will likely not be a super big number coming over. Apparently doom scrolling is preferred for a large swath of Gen Zers
Need to focus on improving these communities and being active/creative especially in building niche communities on Lemmy.
I see so many communities created with just a link or two posted weekly by community creator. That kind of activity gives Lemmy a bad look.
Swimming is much easier when learning at a young age.
That is an unbelievably stupid thing to say.
Maybe try to release a less inflammatory video concept next time. He is appealing to the Maga crowd but is turning off many others.
Eric Heiden 5 gold medals at just 21 years old. Retired shortly afterward to dabble in cycling and then become a mundane orthepedic surgeon.
Also Jerry Mather's aka 'The Beaver' still milking his long ago celebrity decades later.
Wonder how much the Republican candidates will spend talking about catastrophic climate change? ๐
Awesome. Strength in numbers.
Well some people start communities but are not up to task. There should be a well developed rules/about community page. I have seen just create a community post links and do very little to build engagement.
People are gonna look and leave if a community has like 10 members a new thread with a few replies every two to three days and links.
When I get a little time I will be creating a community. Either way level of engagement will take time to build but lackadasial community creaters add to the build time.
Probably so. But then why are Android and Android Apps struggling for engagement? But more randoms, casuals, just a wider overall demographic will be needed for niche communities to become viable.
The communities I mainly communicated in on Reddit either don't exist, or have paltry engagement here.
This is why I am keeping my Reddit account active to make posts in these forums to invite others over here to build engagement.
I know what you mean within seconds my post would be downvoted. Its either a downvote bot or a rude moderator. Lemmy is a breath of fresh air.
Same except for me its BoostforReddit.
KISS launcher
Especially when pairing it with the Panels App
KISS has a small footprint is very fast and really makes my smartphone experience super efficient. I toggle minimalistic on, change search engine to Brave/DuckDuckGo, set my six most used apps as favorites which then show as icons at home screen bottom, assign tags to shortcuts such as favorite websites or tools such as compass, barometer, speed meter, distance calculator, etc.
You can have a tag category show up as a window from the bottom right settings menu.
Kiss also has a very effective search component. Literally the only scrolling needed will be doom scrolling on ones favorite social media app.
Widget functionality could be better but can be supplemented by said Panels app.
I have used hundreds of Android Apps since my first smartphone around 10 years ago and KISS is my most favorite of all (open source or regular) due to how its impacted how I use my phone.
