I guess I’m just a boring person, I have nothing really to say or share that is post worthy, but I try to contribute to discussions when I can.

I like your name.

This is a good meme, particularly because of the correct your/you're usage.

[–] BananaOnionJuice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some people post, some people engage, some people vote.

Two out of three ain't bad.

Dude, you have only 56 posts...

Start whining when you have over 500.

Now get back to work, those posts aren't gonna make themselves

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

56 is actually a decent amount of posts imo...

I am actually quite annoyed at the reddit repost bots, they drown out Lemmy content in favour of Reddit reposts....

[–] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Exactly. Lemmy is a social media platform, not an archival service. People come here to talk to people, not bots.

[–] Exeous@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree. Reddit repost no good. But normal post bot ok, bring in interesting subjects

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 year ago

The repost bots were probably needed to kickstart Lemmy with content, but now I feel like they are preventing a natural growth of the communities.

As it is now I feel that they add a layer of confusion to new members, they have made several Lemmy communities looking like vast empty cities, there are new content, but no people commenting or voting.

If any admin is reading tjis, please consider scaling back the repost bots.

That many comments really does make a difference. Still, next time you see something cool online consider submitting it? It's not as bad here as you might think.

[–] LeafOnTheWind@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What if I don't look anywhere else online?

Maybe we could use AI to generate new and original content?

Since that might produce too much content for anybody to read, upvote and engage with, we could cover the user side with AI bots as well.

If we do this right we could completely automate social media. Maybe one day you won't even have to look at your phone because an army of bots is doing it for you.

[–] CowsLookLikeMaps@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fully automated luxury gay space Lemmy?

posting here is nice cause there's less competition

Also, let’s not forget commenting so it counts as activity.

People complaining? I feel like this is the perfect amount. I'd go to post something on reddit and see it was posted 12 times since I tried.

Real. I'm such a hypocrite

[–] ieightpi@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The fact that lemmy users are as humble as yourself is reason enough to keep this community going.

Coming up with a fun post is kinda hard

[–] Grayox@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Fucking right!? Had a bunch of No Post Lemmy users calling my OC meme shit while it is the most upvoted post on lemmy this month. No matter what you post there are gonna be haters.

Okay, so let's say I actually found the time and had the confidence in my own creativity/sense of humor to make a meme or something. What do you prolific people use?

I don't currently have access to a decent laptop for this purpose, so it would have to be on mobile, and every free image editor app I've tried is lousy at making meme images. Maybe I'm missing the obvious ones, but I could definitely use a 'For Dummies' tier guide to making OC.
