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 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.

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

    • 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 created two communities for things I work on and enjoy, one for BlueMaxima’s Flashpoint, a project I contribute to, and another for Audrey Hepburn.

    I’ve also been posting daily more or less to multiple communities. I gained mod status on one after getting in touch with the person who created it who had been inactive for three years and polished it up with rules, a banner, and linking similar communities in the sidebar.

    Also been trying to get mod status on another community to try and liven it up a bit as well, and am going to try for my local one should a local personality’s request fall through.

    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’v been taking part in discussions all day, learning what i need to learn to be able to help, then getting ready to do specifically that.

    i’v also been cluing some of the more confused reddit mods in to where this place is and figuring out how not to get shadowbanned in the process - make a reference to motorhead instead of naming lemmy himself. hopefully we’ll get the earthquakes mod here soon

    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.

    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)
