Happy with the weekly thread on !newcommunities@lemmy.world, especially as that community is in the highlight on Lemmy.world. Hopefully that will give niche communities more visibility
I’m gutted. It seems https://libretechni.ca broke. As a result, everything was lost, including !selfhosted@libretechni.ca
!wtf@lemmy.wtf is going crazy right now. I’m super pleased to see it doing so well. All thanks to @meldrik@lemmy.wtf
I’m really pleased to see !electricvehicles@slrpnk.net standing on its own legs along with !avs@futurology.today. Really proud of both of these two. Though I’m always trying to recruit @schizoidman@lemmy.ml to join the moderation teams.
Oh and !hiphopheads@sopuli.xyz never disappoints. The numbers of new posts and upvotes are good but I’m hoping to try and figure out how to get more commenting over there.
Been a bit busy over the past week though, so I’m not getting to give everything the love I want.
It seems https://libretechni.ca broke. As a result, everything was lost, including !selfhosted@libretechni.ca
It seems to be back. Is there a second admin there? Would you prefer to move the community to an instance with a more transparent administration?
Visit in your browser, it says cannot find community https://libretechni.ca/c/selfhosted
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !selfhosted@libretechni.ca
It needs some comment worthy threads. Right now it’s all just videos, so not conducive to community building
Fresh music videos can be, but I get your point when it’s a 10 year old video just getting posted because the OP is into it.
Ive made two communities, !gameclub@sopuli.xyz and !wizards@lemmy.world. Wizards recently broke 500 subs and is seeing posts by other users so thats really cool. Gameclub was abandoned awhile back but Ive retooled it and I still think it can serve as a catchall/casual/meme space on the site. I am posting more on other lemmy gaming communities to keep them active as well.
I stepped into a temporary position as a stopgap when the old mod of !bisexual@lemmy.world was taking a leave of abscence and it kind of bit me in the ass when the first post in months hit over 200 comments and 15 reports. I’ve added a couple new mods and Im open to adding more if anyone seems interested.
In all honesty I’ve started using tumblr more than lemmy, which on one hand is good as it gives me more content to post but on the other hand it means Im not here as often commenting and keeping an eye on things.
!wizards@lemmy.world is awesome. 188 posts in 3 months is hard work. Respect!
!bicycle_touring@lemmy.world is doing pretty good for being such a niche and i think you all should get your asses on your bikes and go on some well deserved fun and cheap holidays too, then post about it there.
A bit frustrated about !movies@lemmy.world fragmenting the conversation from !movies@lemm.ee
Seems to be a !android@lemmy.world and !android@lemdro.id situation where both communities stay active without any way to consolidate
Sometimes it’s best just to let things be. In my experience, the higher quality conversation tends to be away from LW. But there’s some exceptions to that. I wish https://lemmy.film was still around.
What will be great is if/when there’s a multi-Reddit style feature that will aggregate similar communities across instances into one feed. Not sure how you’d deal with duplicate posts though.
Multireddit would still show the duplicate posts twice, and people would have to choose which version they want to comment to.
Fragmentation issue would still be there.
Summit app supports multi community. The movie groups are the first multi I made.
Well, on the optimistic side: two thriving but redundant communities is better than two stagnant communities.
Maybe you can embrace it. Like, have inter-community events such as a regular monthly discussion that alternates between communities. It’s only a problem when there are duplicate posts, right?
I’m finding I’m a lot less frustrated now that Thunder has great support for cross-posts. On any one post you can see a list of all the other posts, their votes, and comment counts.
It’s super easy to jump between all the threads discussing the same thing and participate in them all.
Interesting, thank for sharing @TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee maybe that is what you were looking for?
