Not good so far. The judge allowed Jones to keep Infowars for now. That ruins the reason for the community.
Just carry on like you were living in the good timeline? Would be funny
Sadly I’m not clever enough to mimic the Onion owning InfoWars.
Tycoon community seems to have hit a brick wall in terms of new subscribers. User engagement is still low, but that’s to be expected.
I think that the total threadiverse size (45K MAU) essentially puts a limit for such a relatively niche gaming community.
I like your sidebar with the list of other comms. Very nice.
Small typo in the sidebar rouge-like. Unless it is in fact for games that are sorta red.
Good catch! Cheers!
I would engage a lot more if incremental.social would let me log in to more than just the chat function. I was hoping to use that instance for gaming discussion. Sadly for me, I always error out when logging into my account on the instance proper.
I guess I’ll have to give up on using that as the gaming instance and consolidate this account to both anime and gaming. And start participating with this account.
Incremental.social clearly has federation issues. Their contact form also doesn’t work.
I occasionally cross-post relevant content and sometimes I can’t see my own posts. .
Admin said he is working on it (I created a thread stating that the contact form didn’t work and there were issues with federation).
Finally got a Mastodon, where more otome game creators post. Time will tell if this bears any fruit for !otomegames@ani.social.
!AskUSA@discuss.online has great stats for a new community:
- 156 users / day
- 1.37K users / week
Although we need more people posting. We’ve only had to turn one post away so far (insulting the country). I am terrible myself at posting content that people actually want to read:-).
You can look at Reddit for some inspiration. /r/AskReddit or /r/AskAnAmerican have dozens of questions per day, look at ones with the most comments and post them here
On the one hand, yuck - Reddit:-(. But… grudgingly, yeah that’s actually a great idea, thanks:-).
We’re reaching
260 subscribersedit 3 hours later: 270 subscribers (wtf is going on?) on !journaling@sh.itjust.works, which is neat. But what I would really love to see improve is the daily user visit. It averages around 10+ based on the few previous days. What bugs me is that I’m pretty convinced more frequent posts would boost that number but at the same time if all (or most of) those posts come from me that could easily have the exact opposite effect and drive people off.I don’t know what to do beside keep going at it for the time being. There had been a few people participating but I would love to see more comment, post and share stuff ;)
I think one very active user (yourself) is a good thing. You’re keeping it alive. This lowers the threshold for others to post there as well. You just have to wait until daily usage grows. Maybe do some interactive thing to engage users (like the superbowl community recently started a tournament where people can vote for their favourite of two owls evry day)

That’s the plan. My only worry is people starting to feel I’m too active. I mean, I don’t worry about their opinion I just don’t want my attempt to have the opposite effect I want it to have ;)

I had hoped mentioning a new banner/icn would have gathered a little more interest but I probably have not managed to introduce the topic properly. What’s the expression in English? You live and learn?
Yeah, you live and learn. Secretly, nobody ever really knows what they’re doing. The whole of humanity, everybody, is just doing whatever; throwing random stuff at a wall to see what sticks. That’s life and I love how humbling that is.
When you get experience, you learn to recognise what kind of things are more likely to stick to the wall. But than life changes and switches your wall for a different kind of wall and all your presumptions are now wrong. You have to learn it all over again, but you notice that you’ve developed a nag for finding the patterns. So it took you a lifetime to learn what kind of stuff sticks to your first wall. But you’re figuring this second wall out it mere months.
… I’m sorry if I’ve lost you by now, but I like making analogies haha
I run !t_mobile@lemmy.ml and its slow but growing.
slow but growing
Have you ever considered moving the community off of ml? A notable fraction of Lemmy users block ml for political reasons, so it is possible that the location of the community could be hampering its speed of growth.
Well, there’s a similar community on world that actually only has about 10 more subscribers than mine, but I post much more frequently to mine, and so it’s growing faster than the one on world is. I created it on email because I figured that would be a good place to get it to grow decently large since that’s a well-known instance and then figured I’d move it off at some point but haven’t figured out where to move it and haven’t hit the threshold where I feel like I should move it. I do want to eventually move it out for any kind of political reason, but just because that’s a big name instance. And I want to help contribute eventually to the decentralization a bit more. So I would want a smaller instance to put it on.
Feel free to promote your community on the LW one
I don’t do that because it’s not my community and it’s not my place to be promoting an alternative community in their community. Also, I’ve gotten to the same level of subscriptions as them without promoting my community in their community.
I just checked, the LW community doesn’t even have any post, and the mod has been out for a year.
If you prefer, you can also ask LW admins to lock it and redirect to your community.
!soccer@lemmy.world is an example
Lemmy.zip that you are already on sounds perfect for that actually?
