New idea I'm gonna try out (kbin.social)

One thing I really liked reddit for was reading news and talking about it. I have stopped posting or commenting there now and am in the process of slowly wiping my posting history... but I still browse it for current events a decent bit as it's just a lot more active than over here.

I think my new goal is that whenever I see a news post over there I would really like to comment about, I'm gonna post it over here in a relevant magazine and start a comment in that new Kbin thread instead. Seems like a really easy way to nudge myself into getting more content going over here.

Just kind of a Kbin meta shower thought I guess. Cheers.

I like that idea too. It's a good way to start changing your mindset, so you enrich Kbin/Lemmy with content and with more engagement ways for us.

Although I'm a bit concerned about this. If you're talking about links to some news, that's really good. No one will judge anybody for copying a link posted on Reddit to here. If you're talking about memes, it depends. It wouldn't be the first time I see a meme with some Reddit watermark, but let's not do this something regular. And if you're talking about text posts, then I'm against that. Otherwise, we'll become a human chatGPT.

Either way, I'm positive. Let's populate this place, so more people can stay here in the long run.

I mean specifically news article links. I don't post memes or really consume them much either.
