I like Lemmy. I really do.

In order to support the website, I have posted a shit-ton of original content.

Is what I’m doing actually useful? Or am I just wasting my time?

    Yes, people come to Lemmy to look at content and then discuss it, if we don’t have content then there’s no discussion.

    If people don’t like what you’re posting, they’ll let you know through votes on the posts

      I think the main thing here is original content.

      It’s easy to just go to Reddit, find an equivalent community, then copy paste some tending posts… Although I guess it’s nice for people here if they never knew what’s on the other side anyways, creating original content is inherently much more powerful

        It’s easy to just go to Reddit, find an equivalent community,

        As easy as that sounds, I only sometimes do it for the -moe comms. I dont do wholesale copying just that posts that I want to share from reddit when I sometimes browse there. There are still things I care to look at that’s still not here, and I don’t have the wherewithal to do it myself as original content.
