Still here but nearly given up. I'm responsible for >75% of the content on the sub I mod, there seems to be very little interest or interaction otherwise and I get shot down every time I try and branch out.

from a quick glance, your community seems to be doing well. Please don't give up. Try cross posting to other communities also to get more visibility for your posts/comm

I get shot down every time I try and branch out.

Can you elaborate on this particular comment?

[–] JaffnaCakes@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm trying to keep it going but at times I'm the only one posting, or we get a flurry of Reddit reposts and then nothing again. Just feels a bit futile.

With shot down, I mean I did try posting to other communities but there was either no interest, or people got a bit territorial. Had one fracas where someone followed me round reporting everything I posted so in the end I gave up.

You are doing good with new attempts.

Just Fyi that you might find useful too - see https://lemmynsfw.com/post/4557625.

Crosspostings can be a hit or miss, just try to be very aware about the destination community's unique rules. Afaik, most general communities will welcome relevant content if you are not over posting into it.

Just an addition/caution to also be aware about LemmyNSFW instance-wide rule 2, when posting unidentified or unattributed models and content. Just please make sure to stay away from potential revenge porn or stuff where age verification can't be provided - just don't want you to get into hot water...

(Rule Two) Respect and Consent: Treat all members with respect and obtain consent when sharing explicit content involving others. No doxxing.

Cheers. I did have a go at crossposting, but wasn't sure how successful it was. Besides, posting a new and different picture to each community brings fresh content and hopefully avoids spamming everyone's feed.

I hear you regarding Rule 2. It's the difficulty with posting non-OC, I have absolutely no idea what has been shared and why (and even the seemingly professional material, between copyright or a GDP type situation I can't just assume permission). So I try and use my judgement, only post pics that are already freely available on the web, nothing overtly revenge like and we blocked the "upvote and I'll leak the rest" type posts. Same with age, best judgement is the best I can do.
