I noticed that a lot of the posts on Lemmy are news, memes, and interesting discussions. I like the regular flow of content we have, and I find a lot of it engaging.

However, maybe it’s just me, but I haven’t seen a lot of people sharing projects that they personally worked on, be it art, games, programs, music, etc. I’ve been working on a programming project for a year now, and I’ve thought about sharing it on Lemmy to see what people think of it, but the lack of projects from other people deters me. My imposter syndrome also kicks into high gear and tells me that my creations just aren’t good enough to be on Lemmy, and I shouldn’t taint people’s feeds with my mediocre endeavors; after all, I and plenty of other people are enjoying the content here as-is.

So, I’m interested to hear about others’ perspectives: Would you like to see more user-created projects and art, or would you prefer to primarily see more news and focused discussions instead?

    Can’t speak for everyone, but I’d love to see more personal projects done by others posted on Lemmy–whether it’s something god-teir or mediocre (because well, what you may call mediocre, some might call pretty good. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and all that).

    I think the main reason lemmy is mostly news, memes and discussion atm is that thats something everyone can do/ participate in. And since there arent that many users right now, thats what most content is.

    Though I for one would be very happy to see such projects: self-made art, music, crafting, cooking, whatever else people are up to. And I dont think im alone in that

    I’ve been working on something for the Kirby community, but it’s taking me time. I’d say the art and personal projects are what takes the community to the next level

    Tbh there are too many memes it’s polluting this. Lemmy should filter them and give more space to criative communities

    A cool thing with Lemmy (or the fedi) is that it’s not yet full of professional artists trying to get sponsor and sell you stuff. So even if you’re an amateur please share. We need to see more “sloppy content” done with “real finger”, during the 2 hour free you had between work and cooking/eating dinner.

    I mean fuck around and find out. Most people on lemmy are pretty chill and otherwise you will notice it soon enough if people don’t like it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
