I hadn’t gone exploring through the settings till now. You can add a share button for your instance by going to Settings > Sharing > Add sharing method. After that you just paste in your instance URL (ex. https://lemmy.ca for me). The steps are the same for both Lemmy and Mastodon
Makes it much easier to share content here :)
As for the setting I was looking for, press “J” to jump to the next article
I guess we all have a vision for Lemmy anyways. I think two things I’d like to see more often are body text underneath posts (as I said, this isn’t Mastodon) and unconditional upvoting of replies if you get one. That shows the other side that you’ve read it and appreciate they typed something for you. At some point I think I’m going to write a post about nice behaviour here. I have to think about it some more… And this is a diverse place anyways, other people might like different things.
Yeah, and fostering engagement is difficult. Always has been. I don’t think artificial linkdumping helps… It could as well kill engagement if it’s not honest and genuine. But having inactive communities also doesn’t get us anywhere. It’s difficult to do it right.

I’d read something like that :)
Sometimes we also don’t think about how we could be doing something better. Another thing that comes to mind, which I sometimes forget, is upvoting the post that you are commenting on. Usually if I’m commenting, I want more people to see and join the discussion, but I forget to upvote before leaving the tab
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.
Rules:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

I definitely use “upvote = mark as read” so I’m with you on that. 😆
