I noticed that a lot of the posts on Lemmy are news, memes, and interesting discussions. I like the regular flow of content we have, and I find a lot of it engaging.

However, maybe it's just me, but I haven't seen a lot of people sharing projects that they personally worked on, be it art, games, programs, music, etc. I've been working on a programming project for a year now, and I've thought about sharing it on Lemmy to see what people think of it, but the lack of projects from other people deters me. My imposter syndrome also kicks into high gear and tells me that my creations just aren't good enough to be on Lemmy, and I shouldn't taint people's feeds with my mediocre endeavors; after all, I and plenty of other people are enjoying the content here as-is.

So, I'm interested to hear about others' perspectives: Would you like to see more user-created projects and art, or would you prefer to primarily see more news and focused discussions instead?

We had a post about not pooping for 3 days as one of the main things to happen here. Any art project is good enough for lemmy lol

Nothing is good enough for Lemmy. Anything you post will inevitably be downvoted. Because users here care more about making sure the world knows they don't personally like something than about encouraging original content.

God haha that is bad. I do not know why people are like this, but for me personally all my posts across two accounts are at above 95% ratio, so not every post is thoroughly downvoted.

The one type of post that always seems to get downvoted is any low-level question about any particular field, are beginners just not supposed to have questions?
