I'd love to, but right now I'm still dipping my toes in. I had really started to hone my reddit accounts and found good communities. I happened to find out that r/startrek had permanently moved to Lemmy through my Mastodon account so I've been trying to rebuild my interests from there.

It's a good mentality to have.
I kept looking for communities and not finding them, so I started making them. Then adding posts to those communities, and to my surprise people do come and upvote and comment.
I have no interest in running a community, does starting the community mean you're responsible for it here? How does it work? Can I start one and not be responsible for it?
I'm unsure of how it works for the long term, but for the short term it's just for populating the content. That's how I see it.
Then eventually when it grows, I'd want to add a mod to help with the community, or give them them the community entirely.
The focus is populating the community.

You're not the boss of me. Lurking has been a tried and true past time of link aggregators since time immemorial. If this community can't function without lurkers, it's DOA.

Would it be a good idea to cross post large amounts of old Reddit content?

I got a buncha communities setup though I'm still debating on the best way to share em, since obviously don't wanna go all on the self promotion stuff and all, but engagement always helps out.

I'll post when I have something worthwhile to post. Lemmy should go for quality over volume.

I'm yet to find a way to see memes etc. But I'm sure with the influx of people it will all come together
Here's the 3 I'm subbed to:
- [email protected]
- Lord of the [email protected]
- [email protected]
FYI, clicking those links in the Jerboa app on Android attempts to open Gmail to send an email.
Those aren't links in browser either. Don't think there are any quick links yet.
You have to set it up like this, where you do [link name](actual url) in [] and () next to each other just like that. Obviously, you can make the link name whatever you want, it's just the url that matters.
If I just directly type [[email protected]](https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]), I get:
Yeah, I meant that there aren't internal links, but there are these URLs. Also if you type ! and start on a name and wait for a ~~sec~~ minute time, it will start a search list of all the communities. [email protected]

I'm seeing a lot on the all screen, there's a memes sub and several for sh**posting like 196
There's like 3 or 4 active communities called 196 in different instances, yesterday when I was browsing new for the first time about every other post was from some 196 community lol

Agreed, I tried to use lemmygrad.ml when my reddit account got banned before but I eventually went back to reddit because there wasn't much activity. I hope people stay and continue adding content.
Good practice; See a post that might fit a theme sutiable for somewhere else? Cross post it to a place that it suits. You can go to the community and search for a place like "Facepalm" and crosspost it there.
I have been trying to raise interest for other communities Mildly Infuriating has hit 2.81K members which is staggering, I'm honestly so happy to see it but we still have a way to go. I have every desire to spread the people of the community around as it's a win for Lemmy and a spite to Reddit. It's in our interest for the fediverse to explode and grow with content.
It's why I'm also advocating for communities to partner with each other. You can place links to other communities that may have a similar theming that other people might like. It would be a great way to offer up more content, and give that much needed love to communities starting and growing! <3
I've just created a community, to that end, that I'm hoping to start fleshing out when I get home tonight - finding and linking to like-minded communities is a really good idea for that. Thank you for that idea!
