I feel to maximize growth:
- Post daily at a time when most people are on Lemmy.
- Always try to include an interesting picture with the post. If you鈥檙e sharing a URL, sometimes a thumbnail doesn鈥檛 show or is uninteresting. In these cases, find a better picture and use that and move the URL to the body of the post.
- Shamelessly plug the community every chance you get. Speaking of which, !augmented_reality@lemmy.world
Well done!
Thats great! I鈥檓 not personally interested in the topic, but I do love me some fediverse growth!
Now you need to make sure you have regular content. Good luck!
What鈥檚 the best time to post?
When I made this post 馃榿 but it鈥檚 a guess based on my experience. I don鈥檛 know if there鈥檚 a way to see stats of when most people are on Lemmy.
There is.
Various statistics can be viewed here.
For activity, here is activity generation for the last 24 hours.
Thanks! What time zone is this? It doesn鈥檛 seem to specify.
Should be yours. It updates live, so it鈥檚 always the last 24 hours no matter what that is.
You can edit the time range, too, if you like, or show just the stats of a certain instance.
Probably when Europe / US are still awake

In my app, you can add an alternate picture that will replace the url picture. Can you do that on other platforms?
Edit: oh yeah, also great post! Thanks for doing your part!
Is this possible to do on the webUI?
A lot of sites aren鈥檛 properly scrapped for the heading image, but I can鈥檛 seem to set a custom one when using the default webUI.
It鈥檚 possible on the web ui site version 0.19.4.
Lemmyworld is still on 0.19.3
Interesting.
Looking forward to the update, this is a much needed feature if you post a lot, since image scrapping simply doesn鈥檛 work.
Cheers!
If that鈥檚 urgent for you, you might consider opening an account on lemm.ee or lemmy.zip, both on 0.19.5
Lemmyworld are planning to wait until 0.19.6 which isn鈥檛 going to be released any time soon
I suggest it anyway since .world is the default instance and, last I checked, too bloated.
Indeed!
Maybe there鈥檚 a way and I haven鈥檛 figured it out :) Thank you for your encouraging words!!
