To recap, the challenge is to make posts or comments each fitting one of 10 specific criteria. Original challenge thread: https://lemmy.ca/post/70151876

Just want to ask, how is it going? How far have you progressed? Have you noticed any difference in post quality this month?

For those that haven't started or heard about it, you can still make it by doing one a day!

Fedi seems to have completely stalled in the last year or so. Not noticing a lot of posts. Tried to get a few subs off the ground myself but zero engagement => it's dead. Guess Reddit wins after all.

Fedi is only satisfying to a small subset of us forum/reddit type lovers. It is what it is,but we are sticking with it for better or worse.

The rest can have their shit stained corpos and live in lukewarm denial forever. I don't really give AF.

Odd, doesn't feel that way to me at all. Then again maybe my interests might be more mainstream on Lemmy

I've been crossposting my tofu-making posts from Pixelfed over to !food@beehaw.org lately, if that counts?

True - after over a year of regular posting with literally 0 engagement.
I don't need this to get eyes on some kind of profitable project I have going on. I just wanted to share my interests with like-minded people. But turns out, there are very, very few of those around.

Look, I'm not saying this to shit on Lemmy. I'm grateful it exists. But to pretend it's anything but a footnote in the grand scheme of the internet is delusional.

I copied and pasted it from OPs link. I had read the original post, then forgot about it, saw this post, went to the link, copied it, pasted it, and put emojis next to everything I completed and realized I did most of them lol.

Didn't realize beehaw had a food community too. I just made a post the other day on !cooking@lemmy.world that got a lot more responses than I thought!

First I've heard of this. Interesting.

I do have the sense that there has been more shit posting than usual :/
