[email protected] has picked up 1 regular poster besides me, so that’s nice. Hopefully they stay.
[email protected] has grown a fair bit since it was revived a few weeks ago, and we’re almost at 1k subs! The weekly ‘What did you play this week’ post that you (Blaze) started is proving pretty popular. Sadly while there’s some discussion in comments there, nobody actually posts anything.
[email protected] has been having challenges. I tried to advertise on the Norwegian-language version of the comm. Didn’t think there was a conflict, since I was trying to focus on English, but the mod deleted my post without any comment. Fine. Now the guy’s downvoting half the posts I make in the comm 🙄. Bit of slow going growing the sub count there.
the mod deleted my post without any comment.
Seems like power tripping. Feel free to report on [email protected]
You can also promote your version of the community on [email protected] if not already done
To be frank I’ve been a really shitty and sloppy mod. I need to stop being so bloody lazy, and actually promote the communities that I moderate ( [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected]) better. I know what I need to do (post stuff to keep the community active), but I haven’t been doing it.
It’s okay to take some time off
I know. However my “time off” has been a bit too long.
I think that I’ll need to make it a daily duty - at least look for content to post in my comms. Specially for [email protected], I’ve been neglecting it even harder ;_;
-
GOOD: Someone recommended to me the other day an automated posting aid, which would be an enormous help in my being able to “drip” daily content to my sublemmy via a bot, leaving me space and time to work on longer-form posts.
-
BAD: A week or two ago I realised that Imgur had been dropping my content over a surprisingly short delay period (~six months), breaking likely the majority of older posts. I think I’ll slowly be able to restore at least the lead images, but with something like 400 posts to get to, it’s going to be a PITA, and going to take time, daggit.
-
GOOD: Lemm.ee’s issues with not accepting image uploads (I and others still have no idea why, given that our host admin has pretty much retired from interacting with the users) have been thankfully easing off lately, allowing me to work on stuff like recovering from step 2 and restoring some whole posts here and there.
-
BAD: Restoring multiple images posts is… ugh, going to be a real slog that will probably never get done properly. First, because somehow I seem to have misplaced a certain amount of the original image content, second, because it takes a lot more time than simply restorying a post’s lead image, and third, because lemme.ee only accepts up to 500k images (and bless 'em simply for that!), which unfortunately isn’t always up to displaying full pages properly.
-
GOOD: There have been a few user posts recently, which is always nice to see, and gives me hope that maybe just maybe the sublemmy can be self-sustaining one day. 🙂

Trying to keep [email protected] active
[email protected] always gets a couple submissions to posts which is nice!
[email protected] is doing ok as well. Haven’t had as much time to look into non-digital products since by now everyone on lemmy knows about the state of digital alternatives.
I love sillydrawingrequests!
I have stolen the idea of posting a weekly thread, as an encouragement for people to participate in the [email protected]
What surprises me is that the number of subscribers is constantly growing (330 last time I checked, so more than a hundred people more than when I started posting), but not many are willing to discuss much. Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but I don’t know what. You’re more than welcome to share your opinion and suggestions ;)
The will to post is there but the amount of journaling I do is zero and will remain so. I would post some of my PKMS stuff there if I did any this week, but right now I have not added anything to that.
I could put effort into contributing to my PKMS specifically to have stuff to post on the Fediverse but I also have things I need to do in my real life.
Also: if anyone is wondering I’m not sad or anything that I can’t get more people to participate. I’m only mentioning the few participation as an information regarding my attempt to revitalize that community. I will just keep on trying for the time being (to tell you everything, I gave myself at least 6 months before deciding if it’s worth insisting, more likely a whole year as I realize Lemmy is small and that community is so niche).
And if it ends up not working? Well, my attempt will have failed, that’s no big deal and it wont prevent me from keeping journaling on my own and probably to post stuff from time to time ;)
Don’t worry, I know you’re willing to participate and that’s perfectly fine if you can’t.
Don’t worry either about participating into the PKMS community instead as I would love to see more content shared over there too, even though I’m no Mod there. Journaling & actually using a PKMS are two things I consider essential to my creative and intellectual well-being (I would not dare say ‘efficiency’ ;). Tools that are way too often underused when not completely ignored. So, by all means, if you feel like sharing PKMS content I’ll be very happy to read it :)
but not many are willing to discuss much
Probably the 90-9-1 rule at work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1%25_rule
Something Like that, indeed.
Also, it could be because many of the longtime subscribers are not there anymore. I mean, the community was completely inactive for a year or so (and even its creator doesn’t seem to be available anymore). So maybe we’re much less than 330 and more like 100. I can’t tell but I would think so.
That could also be it indeed!
[email protected] is doing great, [email protected] is doing fine, but i feel i’m neglecting [email protected] somewhat. Truth is there isn’t much activity there.
Keeping [email protected] active as well
Funny thing is, it has an active moderation and administration team, but a lack of active posters. I hope the staff over there find it in them to get more involved, I feel like it can easily become one of the most active communities on Lemmy.
It’s has decent engagement. It’s a viable community for Android news.
Yeah, I’m definitely, subconsciously, downplaying the activity a bit.
There were quite a lot of issues lately with the server itself. It already is quite more active than [email protected], hopefully it keeps on that trend: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=android&order=active
Quite happy with [email protected] being more active than [email protected]
Still keeping [email protected] and [email protected] active with weekly threads
Still posting to [email protected] and from time to time to [email protected]
I feel I do not have enough series knowledge to ask good interesting questions in [email protected] at all which sucks because I liked reading discussion about Pokémon back on Reddit.
Exposed through pop-cultural osmosis, then through Pokémon GO, and still have not finished my playthrough of HGSS in which I got really really hooked, decided to put it down, and never picked it back up again because I totally forgot what I was doing and probably need to start over.
But also I do like the series and I figure even a less-knowledgeable enjoyer could put something given Lemmy and its need for engagement… but I also feel bad putting out what feels like low-tier engagement bait questions, the like of which I’d see on anime subreddits that were mostly just images and no discussion at all. But have to start somewhere, and if you do not have deep enough knowledge, it is all I can do if I want to read conversations and not just look at pictures. At least I post better questions on [email protected], although they do not always get engagement. (If it gets flat zero comments I delete for eventual reposting of the question much much later in the hopes people do comment!)
also feel bad putting out what feels like low-tier engagement bait questions
Please don’t. At this point, any engagement is good to have
Really surprised at how well [email protected] caught on.
Makes sense due to the current events
The bot for [email protected] went down for 2 days and didn’t have capability to fix it till this morning. Interactions and votes picked up instantly once it was back tho.
