If you are usually a reddit lurker and are on here, it would be cool if you can try and engage with communities for a bit, just to try and get the ball rolling :)

The problem is, I never really have anything to say that's worth contributing 😢

Haha, that's kind of the point of it. You would suddenly realised you are not alone in how you think or feel

That is usually what happens to me. (<-- This is a pretty useless comment as well xD)

In that case... How has your day been?

Thanks for asking! I've actually been inventorying my mineral collection today, trying to keep fresh content for my magazine, lol. Minerals@kbin.social Started soaking one of my specimen, to clean the rust off of it.

Now I have some French bread pizza in the oven for dinner.

Have you been having a good day?

That sounds like a pretty solid day! I collected minerals as a kid and recently found a handful in storage. I'd love to get back into it.

My day has been solid. I think I finally organized all my digital files, across everything I own and all services I use. I even made some proper backups. It's a massive source of stress gone so I'm planning to just relax the rest of the day. Oh, and trying to not be too jealous of you for having fresh bread to look forward to, lol.

Good job! That can be a ton of work, and rather tedious. I'm sure it feels much better having it done. I recently went through about 10 years of photos, looking to make prints. Not something I'd suggest putting off for that long, lol. Felt great after it was done though!

The pizza was delicious 😊

Hey, thanks for linking the magazine, I was looking for something like that here.

You are more than welcome! I need more people posting, if you have anything from your collection to add pictures of. My collection is only so big and eventually I'm going to run out of things to post, lol!

I only have tiny stuff, really (some I'm not even sure if the name), but I'll sort them out and post some.

Thank you! Might be able to help you identify some of them too.

You can still upvote though.

Ahem.. hint hint

I upvoted and boosted you, just because you asked 😉 Boost that reputation!

Lol yeah I heard my rep on kbin is kinda sh.it. I can't see that on the Lemmy side.

Can you minus someone's reputation without downvoting them? Because I feel like I've had like 5 comments that were downvoted, if that.

I ran into some unsavory people when I was first exploring the fediverse and I think they group downrepped(?) me. Just for being smart.

So I got nosey, and checked out your profile. I'm really confused by your reputation of -31. What I heard was upvotes don't count for rep, but downvotes and boosts do. Do you know, did you get some comments mass reported or something? Maybe reports count against? Maybe it's buggy with non kbin accounts? I'd suggest hitting boost on your own posts, that might help. I know the first day I was active, my rep went up, with me having like 2 upvotes, but also boosting my own posts. It seems weird that you boosting your own stuff would have a positive effect, but I think it might. I included a screen shot of your rep page, so you can make of it what you will... I'm mostly guessing. FYI comments was the only category that had any affect on your rep, all other categories were empty.

Imma boost some of your comments, and we can see if that changes anything.

Edit: So yeah, boosting counts for your rep. At this point I feel like I'm just playing with your account though. If you want me to remove all the boosts I just did, just say the word. Otherwise I'll leave them.

If people only commented when they have something of value to contribute sites like reddit would be dead
