How are you doing with your communities?

Keeping [email protected] alive

Trying to help [email protected] to get more activity. There was [email protected] started a few days ago. I suggested the mod to join patientgamers, they were not convinced. Let's see how it goes.

[email protected] got a nice boost with a post too, that seems a community that can be easy to grow.

I'm starting to get a feel of what works (=gets popular) and what doesn't in [email protected], but haven't curated what I'm posting yet. Still working on the megathread that will (hopefully) list all the art communities on Lemmy

[email protected] is single handedly being carried by OP 😂 btw @[email protected] if you're interested in being mod in there I'll appoint you

[email protected] will maybe return for the end of the year, or maybe remain on standby for Lemmyvision 2

Not my communities but every now and then I try posting in [email protected] ; [email protected] ; [email protected] to help them get more exposure

Thanks for offering, but I'm good thanks 😄 also I only follow LoL, so I guess until next tournament I won't post much
- Next year's introduction to Fearless Draft is going to make competition really interesting !

I wish there was a wiki here, or a better way to keep "long running" information. I can pin posts, but that's not always the best, and it feels like "This post is more important than everything else". Maybe I should spin one up sometime

Linked posts in the sidebar kind of works. Embedded wiki would be great indeed
- Sidebar links are arguably better anyway. Pinned posts don't always federate that way beyond the instance of the mod doing it. There are so many quirky things about running and moderating federated communities on the current version of Lemmy.
- Linked posts are crap, because they link to a specific instance and you cannot participate unless you are on that instance or search the /c for the topic on your home instance yourself. At least i have not found a way to link to posts in a way that keeps you on your instance like with linking (distant) communities.

Trying to make [email protected] a thing, but so far allbymyself.gif. Was sort of looking to have it as a sysadminy discussion thing, but lemmy is too small for it, yet, so it's just a bunch of links to The Register, Drew DeVault and a couple others.

The name might not directly say what this is about, which might limit the chances of someone stumbling upon it. Maybe [email protected] would make it more clear?
- Maybe, but then I'm not aiming for generic sysadmin. I was hoping to get true graybeards to share their experience(s). It'll get there, I think, but it will take a lot more than just a few tens of thousands of users to get enough people from the crowd.
