i don’t want to bring the big forum website that lead to the creation of lemmy (red**t), but that site lets you create posts for your own profile, like, it treats your own user wall as if it was a “subreddit” of its own and, if you don’t have any followers or don’t have the followers button enabled not a lot of people will see your post, but at least you can just sort of use it for posting interesting or casual stuff. lemmy should totally implement that please!!! can you do that on lemmy?? i tried but there’s not a way you can do it, i’ve been trying so if you know a way of creating posts on your profile, please let me know thank you
edit: there were a few grammar mistakes,i’m sorry!!!
This is exactly what I’ve done, but I must say that in the particular community’s case, it hasn’t been easy. We’re going on 1.5yrs now, 900+ subscribers, and I’ve personally contributed ~360 posts (most of them curated mini-articles) out of 466 total posts, yet the sub still essentially needs me to provide the content.
So IME, niche-type subs can take a hell of a lot of work to take off, and we’re not even that much of a niche.
