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?

    this is the reason there are 50,000 instances across the fediverse. there are absolutely instances meant for personal project content like crafting.

    the searching across instances is still stupid, i know there are a few projects out there attempting to build cross-fediverse content searching.

    so it really depends on your project, and how specific a community you want to post it in
