Hello Everyone!
I am still enjoying Lemmy and think it is a great place to be! However, this place seems to be low on any content. I understand that we only have around 2.2k people and that is to be expected.
Do you guys have any ideas for driving engagement here and sharing more of what we are doing and what we are looking to get or recently got? I try to share some lights and post every now and again, but I don’t want to make like 5 posts a day.
Do you think we should have a BST thread like on Reddit? Perhaps some weekly discussion thread with projects we are doing or maybe we can discuss a different brand or company?
What do you guys think?
I think that all of us who are already here just need to start posting more content (myself included), and that will draw more people in. Lemmy is now the home of my Anduril 2 diagrams, but I also need to update and port over some of my old posts from Reddit because some of you may get some use out of them. The more we post, the more information we have available, and that has enormous value. I personally love to see mod posts. @Adair21@lemmy.world is one of the most gifted modders out there, and he shares his mods and builds here. It’s absolutely incredible the sort cool stuff folks are doing to their lights. It’s also great to see “measurement” posts where folks share the results of testing out different emitters (CCT, CRI, lumens, etc.), cells, optics, entire lights, etc. That’s all extremely useful information for the rest of us. And let’s not forget about good old fashioned New Light Day (NLD) posts where folks simply share info about their latest haul. It’s fun to chime in on those, and share your own experiences and mods for those lights. The bottom line is that the content doesn’t magically show up for us. We have to create it ourselves.
I wholeheartedly agree. That’s why I made this post. How can we drive engagement? With weekly threads, have a certain-kind-of-post day, or something along those lines?
