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.

MODERATORS
I like your name.
Some people post, some people engage, some people vote.
Two out of three ain't bad.
Especially when the vast majority just lurk (and even that still helps).
And so you will

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
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....
Exactly. Lemmy is a social media platform, not an archival service. People come here to talk to people, not bots.
I agree. Reddit repost no good. But normal post bot ok, bring in interesting subjects
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.

turns out quantity over quality also ruins a platform
Don't boo this post! It is the truth!
posting here is nice cause there's less competition
Also, let’s not forget commenting so it counts as activity.
I'm doing my part! (winks at camera)

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.
And reposted 25 times
Real. I'm such a hypocrite
The fact that lemmy users are as humble as yourself is reason enough to keep this community going.

You can bite my shiny metal ass
Coming up with a fun post is kinda hard
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.

I appreciate people that kickstart small communities. It's hard to keep posting when very few people actually engage.
It doesn't even need to be good content, just post content! I post bad shit to 196 all the time.
