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 !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io!

[–] hitstun@fedia.io 8 points 5 months ago

Thank you! And also, thank you for sticking up for us on Reddit and helping the whole community grow. Keep up the good work!

[–] sturlabragason@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Shoutout to @Pugjesus for keeping shit alive!

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Just trying my best to keep things alive until they're self-sustaining!

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 14 points 5 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] hitstun@fedia.io 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Catbox is working fine for me. Below, there should be a video of Scott Kelly in a gorilla suit on the ISS.

ISP problem use DNS or VPN.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Tried it and just did some tinkering with the DNS settings, nothing.

I've been using a UK-based site to check if it's down and that does show it as down when others, from elsewhere, show it as up but jumping between Germany and the US makes no difference.

edit: tried via Belgium and Japan and got nothing but Poland has worked. I can't explain that.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

It definitely works for me.

Ah, too bad, are you still able to see the picture?

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I can see images hosted on the files subdomain but can't access the site's front page or watch videos on there. Weird.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 4 points 4 months ago

Weird indeed, but at least you can see images

[–] frightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.ml 8 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Yeah, it's a good feeling.

I was keeping !noyank@lemmy.ml 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

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 5 points 5 months ago

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.

[–] hitstun@fedia.io 4 points 5 months ago

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.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

No 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.

I love seeing the anime art!

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Feels good man!

[–] Mex@feddit.uk 5 points 4 months ago

I feel seen.

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] sag@lemm.ee 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Post once in a week. No need to post daily. Like I do in !balatro@lemm.ee. Also, I was thinking to post in !sekiro@lemmy.zip but will never post on !bloodborne@lemmy.zip until it get remastered or ported to PC.

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] sag@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

2 or 3 atleast

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

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 communities

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I 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

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 7 points 4 months ago

It's even less than that, it's 45k monthly active users

Didn't know about !shittydarksouls@lemmy.world , so it's probably where most of the people are

[–] sag@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

Litterally me whenever someone post on !balatro@lemm.ee

[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yay for lemmy contributors. I love finding new things to post in the few communities I frequent, it's fun for me, believe it or not. But it's also great to see others get a kick from the same things.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 4 points 4 months ago

Thank you for your posts!

[–] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)
[–] Blaze@feddit.org 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

How about creating a post on !newcommunities@lemmy.world ? That usually gives the best visibility

I'll also add you to the "manual hobbies" thread, but a dedicated post would be better

[–] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Thanks M8, will do

[–] Mex@feddit.uk 5 points 4 months ago

Ooh, I have no skills in bonsai but I do enjoy looking at them, subscribed

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

It's always a refreshing feeling!

[–] gst0ck@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Microgrowery needs some help.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 2 points 4 months ago

I posted a thread yesterday on !newcommunities@lemmy.world with manual hobbies communities, including cannabis. Maybe it's worth considering merging !microgrowery@lemmy.ml with one of those?
