    The same as many others: sharing content I like, participating in comments more often, and generally being more active than I usually am. Also been trying to build a community at [email protected], but I don’t know that it’s going anywhere. Obviously most people will head to [email protected] because it was more popular on Reddit.

      Trying to start an international community on a regional instance is an uphill battle, people will see the .ca domain and assume the community is focused on Canada.

        That’s fair! I am guilty of thinking that when I see certain instance names but I hope we can shake that habbit. After all, having everyone make alt accounts and relying on more generic-sounding instances for all communities is a bad idea. Lemmy.world already has too many hosted there.
