Just curious. I miss mainly language stuff, some video game communities (like RoN, KCD) and some local communities like for Arabs or Saudis (tbf those were always cesspits but I miss talking to other Arabs on Lemmy)

I'll try to be the change I want to see. How about you?

Writing prompts. It's here, but it's unpopulated. Tbf the Reddit one wasn't super populated either, but that's where I did a lot of my reading.

Yeah, it gets the occasional post, but responses are few, and tend to take a while to show up

[–] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Interesting, never heard of it. Though that content sounds like it takes effort which only a select couple of users would exert.

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago

There was like, under 100 people who would write, but a lot of them were very good. I bought a couple of ebooks and read tens of thousands of pages of work from there.

The type of person commenting there ideally wants most eyes to see their work, so I think it could do well even with a small community of commenters, it used to be really fun when it was just everyone giving it a go and not professional authors who are bored.

Well both the mods of !writingprompts@lemmy.world and !writingprompts@literature.cafe are inactive, so if one of you were interested you could take up moderating it ;)

[–] MaelGuerra@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Not inactive, just not active active. There's never anything to moderate, and I'm not prone to doing my writing on lemmy these days. Character limits make it somewhat annoying to fit things in. I favor longer fiction than I used to, particularly back on reddit. Since this account is exclusively for my pen name, and I'm a non entity, there's not much call to interact with things.

But I passively use lemmy plenty, and read everything in the community.

Would you be open to consolidating the activity on !writingprompts@lemmy.world onto !writingprompts@literature.cafe?

@gabe@literature.cafe, @Arthur@literature.cafe, would you be open to adding MaelGuerra to the mod team?

[–] Arthur@literature.cafe 2 points 22 hours ago

Yeah I'm totally fine with that if MaelGuerra is up for the transition!

[–] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I assumed since you haven't interacted publicly for a year you were inactive, sorry.

[–] MaelGuerra@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Not a problem :)

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Sounds like a great opportunity to migrate a .world community to a more topical instance as well.

[–] MaelGuerra@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

When I set it up, there was a bit of difficulty finding instances, or I would have picked one that's less congested. There's one at literature.cafe that gets some use as well.

[–] Dil@is.hardlywork.ing 2 points 1 day ago

isn't character limit by instance? If that's an issue an issue with it movings prob a good idea

[–] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

Literature.cafe seems great for what it is so if someone would pick between them i think lc would be 100% the better choice.
