Fedifolks (K/Mbin, Lemmy, Piefed): What would you like to see more of on this slice of the fediverse?

I more wish I could filter out things that I can’t currently. I personally don’t want to see links without any written context by the person who posts. I feel kinda the same with media but its understandable to me there. In my eyes if the person Is unwilling to talk about why they like or find something interesting I don’t want to see it. I come here to converse not be directed to another site for content. So I guess having a community that required people who post to actualy start a convo would be the thing. thing is I would just prefer to be able to filter out link droppers. funny thing is its become such a norm on the internet I don’t think a lot of people even realize how wierd it is.
Agreed, video and dump or bot repost and run is spam to me.

basically this is how I feel. if there is no context is just sorta advertisement trying to get clicks.

I’m a long time mostly lurker on MBin from a couple of years ago now. If I wanted to contribute to your feed but have limited time, what do you feel you’d like to see more of?
News reporting? (Are there neglected issues you wish you saw more of in major comms?)
Breaking news?
Long-form reads?
Text posts?
Memes?Other stuff?
Niche communities! We need more of them.

“I also think news and memes are the exact two things we have in abundance.” YES
I would actually like to be able block some of that content…Another i get fed up of is anime…each to their own but i wish there was a tag that i could just use to sweep it all away.
I also miss creative content, the crafts/diy communities are pretty quite, i would love l to see more integration with pixelfed and makertube.
I try my best to post to the creative ones when I’ve made something worth posting but yeah, not exactly buzzing with activity. I’ll post them in case theres some new ones people haven’t heard of.
!handmade@lemmy.world
!imadethis@lemmy.zip
!leathercraft@lemmy.ca
!Art_Alchemist_Guild@lemmy.today - this is rather active and fun
And in the spoiler below is my own pretty new and mildly nsfw crafting community, slightly self-promotional but thought to post in case people like it. Not much there yet, want to post more but I’ve been busy and had a bit of a creative block.

Personally, I think news and memes are already covered and aren’t in critical need of more posters.
I’d say whatever you are interested in should be what you contribute. Make a little corner of the fediverse for yourself and then show it off to everyone.
If it’s something niche, I’d suggest posting to the niche community and then cross-posting in a larger, relevant community.
Yes and sure to crosspost and not simply repost it.

Thanks all for your thoughts. Super helpful! I’m going to give some thought to things I can contribute to smaller communities given my offline interests.

Most of the posts on !football@sopuli.xyz at the moment are about the FIFA president blatant corruption. Everybody following the sport is aware of the context, and nobody is trying to get clicks anywhere.

Whatever you do, connect this place with other things you love, do it constantly like someone knitting as they watch tv.
Link to interesting places and ideas!

yeah but regardless the individual is acting like that. I expect to hang out here and to me it should be like hanging out anywhere. someone presses a flier into my hand or says I should got read some magazine and its like whatevef. someone excitedly tells me about an article they read and actually they have it right in their hand if I want to read it. then sure. its a personal thing. I hope at some point to be able to filter like that is all. Actually ideally I could filter by number of characters required for a link post to not be blocked from my feed.

The filter you mention at the end would probably work
