Driving Engagement? (lemmy.world)

Hello Everyone!

I am still enjoying Lemmy and think it is a great place to be! However, this place seems to be low on any content. I understand that we only have around 2.2k people and that is to be expected.

Do you guys have any ideas for driving engagement here and sharing more of what we are doing and what we are looking to get or recently got? I try to share some lights and post every now and again, but I don't want to make like 5 posts a day.

Do you think we should have a BST thread like on Reddit? Perhaps some weekly discussion thread with projects we are doing or maybe we can discuss a different brand or company?

What do you guys think?

Oh, oh my god. I just saw this community and I feel like every single one of you will understand my ire upon replacing a 6volt battery in one of those old flashlights, right, and thinking hey, fuck yeah, this beefy fucker's gotta be lit, right?

WRONG.

Damn thing was dim as shit. LEDs win. Thank y'all for your service.

Yup. LEDs are amazing. Changed everything for the better. TVs, home lighting, car lighting, PC FPS, etc.

Those old lights have bonk factor though.

I got myself a big Sofirn dive light for the bonk factor 😄

The Convoy L7 also has some bonk factor. Can't ever go wrong with bonk factor!

Yes, one of those might have to be on my next Convoy order...

Or the L8...
