I noticed that a lot of the posts on Lemmy are news, memes, and interesting discussions. I like the regular flow of content we have, and I find a lot of it engaging.
However, maybe it’s just me, but I haven’t seen a lot of people sharing projects that they personally worked on, be it art, games, programs, music, etc. I’ve been working on a programming project for a year now, and I’ve thought about sharing it on Lemmy to see what people think of it, but the lack of projects from other people deters me. My imposter syndrome also kicks into high gear and tells me that my creations just aren’t good enough to be on Lemmy, and I shouldn’t taint people’s feeds with my mediocre endeavors; after all, I and plenty of other people are enjoying the content here as-is.
So, I’m interested to hear about others’ perspectives: Would you like to see more user-created projects and art, or would you prefer to primarily see more news and focused discussions instead?
I have a community for my music project, but in my experience most project sharing on the Fediverse occurs on Mastodon. There are a few Lemmy communities for production-related discussions but they don’t get much traffic or visibility.
Mastodon facilitates producer talk very well. From what I’ve seen, it also works well for visual artists. If you don’t have an account then it might be worth signing up and checking it out.
At the same time, it would be great to have more sharing and discussion occur here on Lemmy. I’m always happy to see others’ work, even if they are just beginners.
