  • Lot of good advice here about curation, thats definitely an option to leverage your subscribed feed.

    Another option, is to remove yourself from the largest server (lemmy world), look at your options on other instances, theres hundreds. The label to the right of usernames should denote what instance people are connecting from.

    Some examples are blahaj, midwest.social, sopuli, feddit…

    The links below have lists of a lot of the available instances,

    Lemmyverse.net

    Advantages of Choosing a Smaller Server

    The experience of the ‘Local’ tab seems to be genuinely different from Lemmy World.

    Lemmy World probably doesn’t look too different whether you sort by the ‘all’ tab or ‘local’ tab, so you really only have the ‘subscribe’ tab to find and hone your niche on the network.

    Going for a smaller, but active in its own right, instance means you suddenly have a ‘local’ tab that is highly differentiated from the wider lemmy network, andgoing along with that its often a bit less political.

    I’d use my own as an example here, but we’ve just had a major election in Australia, so its been pretty political lately, i’m expecting that to subside now that the chooks are counted.










  • Find the lesser posted contributors to your field/s of interest, read them, post them, share your thoughts.

    This means you are actively using social media, actively considering different texts in subjects you already have an interest in, and actively using your brain to make considered contributions.

    This is my go to. Take a look at my post history in aussie-enviro. I continually go out of my way to find environmental or conservation organisations themselves instead of waiting only for a news site like Guardian to do a write up themselves.

    I’m finding my reading speed and attentiveness has improved, and i’ve better knowledge recall, especially on key details. Its of course fun as well.
