I guess this is a me trying to figure out how to grow lemmy or fediverse in general. Just getting frustrated and want to do something constructive and put idea out and have idea come in.

In me head I head this line of “will you after engagement grows will you improve a project or will you improve a project to encourage engage” to me the answer settled on keep doing what you can to improve project and kinda hope it increases engagement.

For lemmy it seems as though the technical side is solid it’s just building lemmy communities. Right now I’m thinking of building a Florida c/ but it would come off as a hard endeavor because idk what I’d do with it. Would I post random new stories in Florida would it be politics. Plus I’ve been told that posting links “clutters the Internet” and people would get confused as to where to find original links. Then there’s getting people to a Florida c/, do I just go into discords and tell people about a fledging group

I do want geographical based c/ since they are more personal to people and would increase engagement on lemmy but that small steps that need to be worked out.

I do wonder if it would be worth it do sneak content from reddit to relevant c/. I know they do it for NSFW subreddits, but it might be worth it for hyper specific subreddits just to have that content to engage with, but that could be viewed as an IP infringement
