About a fraction of a percent as much as the people giving us unsolicited porn.
So much unsolicited porn.
They do the Lord's work, they do.
You're not wrong
I helped get the "guess the episode" game going in a Simpsons related community. Wasn't all me by any means, but I decided to normalize the game a little and it stuck :)
I completely dropped Reddit and now exclusively use Lemmy. I comment a lot, and try to have constructive discussions, and I try to write quality comments that help others.

I love it. I'm really glad to see Lemmy and more specifically Lemmy.World growing slowly but surely.
I've been posting content and comments more often than I had been doing on Reddit for the past 3 years. I think a lot of that, has to do with your posts and comments don't get auto-bombed because you're 'competing' with others. I've also noticed and appreciated that in nearly all of the communities I'm subbed to, there seem to be more genuine discussions happening than on Reddit's compatible communities. I rarely see the 'worthless' comments nowadays. Examples such as, "Your mom," "Like," "Same," "[insert edge lord comment]," etc. Which is wonderful!
And I think like a lot of us, being strong internet citizens, we want this to work out for the long haul..
I made a reddit repost bot at one point and run my own instances. Turns out nobody wants repost bots so I just post memes occasionally. And I've stopped posting on Reddit except trying to update super old tech support threads if I encounter and fix the issue.
Finding the top comment and writing “came here to say this”, like a good commenter should.
never
Doing our job, much obligated.
Posting shit and getting downvoted. Gets people talking.
Sounds like what OP is doing.
Running my own instance and commenting a lot
Go on.. how did you get started?
I mean how else? I just started a virtual private server up (chose hetzner for this), secured it as best I can, setup cloudflare for it to proxy the IP for security through obscurity, and used the lemmy easy deploy script by ubergeek77 on GitHub; If you want a more detailed guide that will take more time
Shitposting and the galore
Making lots of alt accounts to pump up the number of active accounst, I mean, because every instance keeps going to shit
Wow, so you're denigrating people for not "doing" something. What a passive aggressive shit fest question.
