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’re sharing a URL, sometimes a thumbnail doesn’t 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, [email protected]

    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’t properly scrapped for the heading image, but I can’t seem to set a custom one when using the default webUI.
