It would be great to have a fediverse service for Meetup. Bending Spoons is aggressively enshittifying the original site, definitely ripe for disruption.

100%! Been doing it for a year.
Also, I find a nice way to fill my feed is to liberally subscribe to communities on Lemmy. I'm currently subscribed to 133. I set my feed to Subscribed+Scaled and that works incredibly well to show me what I care about. Then when I get bored, I flip to All+TopDay to get what I missed that day.

Yeah I’m guilty of that. I posted to Reddit today, but not Lemmy. I’ve been telling my friends to switch to federated social media, but I still find myself slipping back to Reddit. Not because I like Reddit better but because they have more content or I already know where to look for specific content. But I’m going to try and post more. Thanks for the reminder!
be the change you want to see in the world! sincerely, the new owner and moderator of !falloutmods@lemmy.world and !fallout@lemmy.world, respectively

On one hand yeah! But on the other, I'm not fully sure we want the Reddit chain of comments that add nothing to the conversation?
You aren't entirely wrong, but I feel it could help build an appearance of high activity, which would help attract people. Also; many people wish to contribute but stifle the words before they can come out of their mouth, and I'm hoping a post like this could be the push they needed.
It's a fair call, I think I'll push send more often from now on!
Honestly half the reason I don't post these days is more not wanting to feed LLMs/dox myself further, but that's a whole other can of worms

Yes sir/ma'am/person!
Love that sentiment. And I love the fediverse. Thanks to every developer and every one of us using this. I deleted Reddit in 2022 and never looked back, thanks to all of you. I use my phone a little less, and YouTube is the only thing I still use that’s not federated.

Hear, hear!
press send on that post that you felt wasn't of enough substance to be worth anyone's time.
I feel like you vastly underestimate the amount of subpar shitposts I'm capable of composing (and then thinking better of) in a given day.
I’ve started explaining this to non-techies. Hopefully starting to gain a little traction as the meta/ticktock machine becomes more and more egregious. Also this is speeding up the homelab I’m building.
I’d add the appropriate meme but I’m new here.
I’m doing my part .gif
You're gonna regret asking me to post more but... your wish is my command! 🪄

Ok. I'll start commenting more literally right now.
