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?

    There are tons of creative / art / project focused communities here, you just don’t tend to see them in the All feed for obvious reasons. Find one where your project fits, post it, worst that can happen is nobody sees it which isn’t exactly the end of the world.

    If you’re struggling to figure out where it would fit, let us know vaguely what it is and maybe we can help! Also like someone else suggested !imadethis@lemm.ee is a good general catch-all.
