Hello all, I'm the mod and primary poster here.

I'm doing some tidying on the communities I mod now that I have some time, and this thread is for any feedback about the community or the modding here.

I have been meaning to create a stickied "Intro to airsoft" thread going over basic safety issues and some basic buyers and beginner loadout suggestions. Once I get that thread started, feedback in the comments by the community would be a great way to refine it.

If there's any rules, community issues, or suggestions for community events this is the thread for it.

Coming from feddit.org and other communities, I don’t see this as a lemmy problem per se. Hopefully, OC and infos about upcoming/past events will do a lot for engagement.

Recurring, regular infos from other websites is not really appealing to me (thats what feed readers are made for). Too me, it is more important to share highlights and start gear talk, but this is again constrained by different regions and laws 🤷‍♂️

OC discussion is better than articles, no question.

Unfortunately, right now on my end as a regular thing it's either sharing articles or nothing, since almost nobody posts. I lean on the side of at least posting articles so the community isn't totally dead. While neither situation is great, I think a community with recently posted articles looks better to a newcomer than a community with the last post being months or years ago.

I've posted my own OC and intend to do more, but that's just in hopes of jumpstarting community members to do it themselves, since that's the final goal. Also I only have so much OC as one person.

As actionable feedback, I can post discussion topics in 2026 to see if that sparks more interaction.

The whole fediverse has the problem I think, you're right.
