Announcing the Threadiverse Vibrancy Challenge (Sep 1-30, 2026)

The Challenge - From September 1 to 30, 2026, complete each one of the categories below with a unique post or comment:

1. (Freebie) Make a shitpost.
2. Make a post about something other than technology or politics or a shitpost.
3. Make a post showcasing a thing or topic you find interesting.
4. Make a post to a community with fewer than 100 subscribers.
5. Make a post to a community in a small instance.
6. Make a post featuring a human-made piece of art.
7. Make an on-topic comment to a post in a small community.
8. Make a comment or post sharing news about a location relevant to you.
9. Make a high-quality long form text post or comment.
10. Post or comment a link from another part of the Fediverse.

I came up with this to encourage a greater variety of posts and comments to niche communities, with the support from people who usually just comment occasionally and lurk.

Participants will evaluate their own progress. If you get a score of 10/10, you will win a virtual Lemmy Gold Star, and hopefully everybody will win a noticeably more active Threadiverse in the smaller communities!

Remember to be respectful and follow rules of the instances and communities you post to.

Feel free to share this with your own instance. I will try to post a mid-challenge follow-up in 3 weeks and a concluding ceremony in October in !fediverse@lemmy.world. Good luck!
