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?

    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.
