I’m especially curious to know if you made your own instances or communities. But if not, what other notable things have you done?

E: I guess I forgot to mention what I did, which was make a community and various posts. Considering making a full instance but I’ve never attempted something like that before.

    I’ve been making at least 20 comments/day. It ain’t much but it’s honest work.

    I was closer to 20 comments per year back on reddit

    I am actually writing a better Android/iOS/Web client for lemmy :) not sure when it’s gonna be ready though as I am already busy enough but keep an eye for an announcement maybe in the next month or so :) the idea is that its heavily inspired on the Infinity client for reddit.

      I’m so desperate for something like Apollo that I’ve downloaded Xcode and am going to try and learn how the hell any of this works.

      Oh sweet. Infinity was what I personally used for reddit. Very underrated in my opinion.

    So far it’s just commenting and upvoting. The mobile interface isn’t the best tbh, but I’m hoping to dive into everything on desktop when I have time this weekend.

      If you’re on Android you can just install the browser version as an app on your homescreen and it works better in many ways than the app currently does (no shade, it’ll get there).

    • Forked and fixed PDS so users can mass-edit comments and clean up / remove content from Reddit, while leaving a sign of the issue
    • Wiped my own accounts clean, editing all comments, deleted accounts
    • Have not gone back to reddit (won’t go back)
    • Started a community I didn’t see here (trying to start another but bugs)

        I wanted to edit my comments, not remove them.

        Reddit implemented a 5-second cooldown editing comments. PDS would report all comments edited but only a smattering of them would be in actuality. The last post on the PDS subreddit ( 2 years ago or something like that) was about this very issue.

        So I found a fork that had implemented a 5-second timer on comment edit operations and then finished the rest of the work: updating the bookmarlet, creating a new codepen, updating versions, readme, etc.) Hooray for open source!

    I’ve used lemmy and kbin exclusively since the 11th and haven’t given Reddit any traffic during that time

    I go back a couple times a day to lead those that won’t convert to ad-free modded versions of the official app so reddit can’t make any money off Android users by cramming ads down their throats.

    Also been trying to lead more people to kbin.

    Made various posts to help communities I’m interested in get off the ground, advertised my fave ones on other social media, helped a lot of people out during the influx earlier in the week so hopefully a few less of them bounce off Lemmy due to confusion. Haven’t started any communities because I prefer to try and help build existing ones.

    (I did briefly consider making a craft-focused instance but had a look at the docs and the tech requirements and noped out lol)

    Created a community and I’m trying to comment and upvote the most possible. Unfortunately, most people don’t do anything.
