Don't worry about that, I got stuck straight in!

Lol, it feels strange being invited here as someone not a mod or instance admin, and my original intent was to just lurk silently.

I do feel protective of this space now though, since participating so much more than I ever thought I would, and there are a few names in this thread I recognize for their contributions across Lemmy and I'm very thankful of the work you all have put in as well.

I'll make an effort to follow this community and share any helpful thoughts I have. I think we really have something good here, and I want to see it grow happily.

That's the whole idea, all the people here are regular posters. They might be mods or admins too, but that doesn't really matter. We are here to talk about how it feels to post regularly, and it's something that only a few people really experience.

@Welp_im_damned@lemdro.id as it seemed the previous ping didn't went through

[–] Welp_im_damned@lemdro.id 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No it did. I'm just confused about what this community is.

[–] Blaze@reddthat.com 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh sorry, maybe it wasn't that obvious. It's mostly to discuss how to make the communities sustainable, and usually the regular posters are the ones that the main factor.

I wanted to ask you something very specific: do you think that !android@lemmy.world and !android@lemdro.id might merge at some point in the future? It seems like having two parallel communities is a bit confusing, as people might talk about the same things in two different places, and post the same content.

I know there were conflicts between the two moderating teams in the past, but I'm not sure that's still the case, especially now that thee communities are a bit less active than just after the API changes.

[–] cole@lemdro.id 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

well, originally the !android@lemmy.world community was shut down since it moved to lemdro.id. the decision to "unmerge" was made by the LW admins and we have no animosity for that but we also don't have any plans for merging since we already tried that.

[–] Blaze@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback! I see, it kind of makes sense from a historical perspective, but I guess it's just confusing for people wanting to ask a question or posting an article seeing two communities which both seem active and with similar rules.

[–] cole@lemdro.id 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We're certainly not against merging again, but it'll need to be initiated by the mods of !android@lemmy.world with the blessing of the admins there (and I suspect the mods are not open to this). We've already given it our best shot!

@MicroWave@lemmy.world for their contributions to the science communities

[–] Mr_Mofu@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ill definitely say @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz for being pretty much the entire basis for literally the entire Anime Community on lemmy!

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Oh. Well this is an interesting community. I've been thinking that something like it should be around.

@wjs018@ani.social is another contributing powerhouse when it comes to anime content on this budding platform.

Just sharing the passion :)

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you so much for your persistent contributions and expertise! If you have any thoughts on dealing with shouting into the void, we'd love to hear them!

[–] paulhammond5155@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I've had times when I felt I was shouting in the dark on a number of different platforms over the years, but those community don't last long as they usually grow. The Mars communities here on Lemmy have grown nicely since I came over here from Reddit. I'm sort of paying it forward for all those that preceded me that gave me joy in the late 50's and 60's when I was young developing space nerd. I simply gather the data / images to satisfy my own curiosity. Sharing it with a few like minded souls, is only but a few clicks in this digital age :)
