Fucking SOMEBODY help me keep https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/bonsai going
Ooh, I have no skills in bonsai but I do enjoy looking at them, subscribed
How about creating a post on [email protected] ? That usually gives the best visibility
I’ll also add you to the “manual hobbies” thread, but a dedicated post would be better
Thanks M8, will do
Litterally me whenever someone post on [email protected]
I feel seen.
I’ve basically lost all interest in keeping my communities alive at this point. I tried posting daily myself, I encouraged others to join in, I had bots pulling content from reddit to have any activity there, people grew discontent but didn’t post themselves. Basically back to square one and don’t feel like starting out again. Guess I’m good without them
Post once in a week. No need to post daily. Like I do in [email protected]. Also, I was thinking to post in [email protected] but will never post on [email protected] until it get remastered or ported to PC.
How many posts at a time do you post?
One can hope that there will be some movement in the Bloodborne camp sometime in the future
That’s fine, your niches were probably too small for the current lemmy population.
Souls-like fans will probably have to go to more generalist video game communitiesI checked out a couple of your posts on reddit where you also mention that we had an active community of around 70k people across the entirety of Lemmy. I was under the impression that we’re a lot more. In light of that, it makes sense they didn’t pop off more. Shittydarksouls seems general enough to gather enough people
It’s even less than that, it’s 45k monthly active users
Didn’t know about [email protected] , so it’s probably where most of the people are
Honestly, my favorite part of running a community is when a new face joins and posts something they like. It doesn’t matter if their posts don’t look like mine. Other people’s posts make me feel like I’m not just posting into the void.
Hello,
Shout out to you and your very cool community [email protected]!
Thank you! And also, thank you for sticking up for us on Reddit and helping the whole community grow. Keep up the good work!
Shoutout to @Pugjesus for keeping shit alive!
Feels good man!
It definitely feels like the community has gained some kind of traction.
Also is Catbox working for you? I’ve not been able to access it for weeks.
Catbox is working fine for me. Below, there should be a video of Scott Kelly in a gorilla suit on the ISS.
Nope, nothing.
ISP problem use DNS or VPN.
It definitely works for me.
Ah, too bad, are you still able to see the picture?
I can see images hosted on the files subdomain but can’t access the site’s front page or watch videos on there. Weird.
Weird indeed, but at least you can see images
Oh it’s the best.
Yeah, it’s a good feeling.
I was keeping [email protected] going for months, now I just check in every so often, and there’s starting to be conversations there, and it’s almost at 300. It’s not the most active community in the 'verse, but it is active. Cheers to Emperor and velox vulnus for contributing
On worries - I try and pick up on media that doesn’t come from the US as it keeps things interesting (even if the most engagement comes from American blockbusters), so happy to cross-post there too.
As a Yank myself, I actually appreciate that community. Lemmy and Mbin have worldly, logical arguments that wouldn’t get far on an American social media echo chamber. If the rest of the world doesn’t make themselves heard loud and clear, civilization will collapse.
Nice community, I remember seeing it a while back. Good to make the exercise to remember how prevalent US culture can be in other countries.
I tried to keep a few communities that I made going, but I’ve burned out on my hobby and haven’t found anything else worth posting. It can definitely be draining.
It definitely does
