No commentary here. I just think we should find more comrades and bring them into our fold. How do we do it? Post your ideas, no matter how wild. Maybe someone will see it and get inspired and make something happen.

Here’s my idea: provide resources and help that other spaces aren’t providing. The mutual aid comm is a great example of this, but I’ve also been thinking there’s probably a lot more we could provide especially to trans/queer communities. Some folks on the site are already started doing great work in this regard but I think it would be cool and useful to start having for more discussions on DIY help for example, including making and sourcing, though we also want to be careful about this and not get unwanted attention. I’d love to hear feedback on this if anyone has any.
If the anarchist’s cookbook was so good how come they never made a sequel?
Yeah the cookbook itself is a joke but I just mean the broader concept of “secret repository of DIY stuff the government won’t tell you about”
Ironically, the government is the best source of DIY stuff the government won’t tell you about

There is a sequel called Recipes for Disaster, but it’s somewhat tamer than the original.
Agree that providing resources other sites don’t or can’t will attract people
I think well worded effort posts could be picked up by search engines or easily spread to other sites but then we’d have to effort post
Memes are good but the basic ones are a dime a dozen, effort posts and resources are way more difficult to compile on other sites
Yandex really likes us but federation devalues us on Google and Bing
I’ve never found any Lemmy post by searching even though I know there are relevant posts to things I search for. I mostly use duck duck go. Is Lemmy even included in search engines?
I use duckduckgo and before when I’ve search niche leftist topics that I’ve seen on here, ive gotten results from this site
That may have been before we federated though?
The DIY care thing would be very timely too.
