Be the change you want to see!

In my experience, a lot of these subs aren't abandoned and have plenty of subscribers, so if you post, people will jump on it.

There's no better feeling than making a post to a dead community, and then suddenly tons of posts start flooding in lol.

I actively try to post when I see this happen.

What communities are you experiencing this with? Maybe we share some interests.

be the change you wish to see!

So you make a post, right?

Right?

Me: single handedly keeping 9 communities alive

...

I need help

I really wish the !tipofmytongue@lemmy.world community grows here on Lemmy. It was my all time favorite subreddit. No fighting, no toxicity, it's just straight up:

"I forgot this thing"

"You mean THIS thing?"

"Yeah! That thing!"

Everybody wins.

Hey I got c/goblincore going again singlehandedly. Post! People will participate.

We gotta get niche communities that aren't just programmers and socialists... I'm a socialist, but I wanna talk to some people about how Porygon is one of the greatest Pokemon of all tiem.

Subreddit? More like Sublemmy

Did you post tho

damn it's me every time to find a circle :^)

give it time, people will come to their favorite instances with time. The best thing you can do is make your own posts to your favorite subs and cross post posts you see to other subs they fit into as well.

I was so excited to find a scuba group.

Then it just kinda went nowhere.

On one hand, it's a great sigh of relief to not see so many communities contaminated with shallow interactions that are harbored by typical Redditquette behavior.

The other hand, it's depressing to see so much wasted potential. I mean, there was supposed to have been a big revolution, wasn't there? The fediverse did gain a large chunk of users. But, most of the time, it was treated like a temporary vacation resort or some airbnb to most users that are "so tired" of reddit. No, they were only tired of reddit because it was both the cool thing to do and it was for a short period.

But they can't escape the crack, they know it is addicting. The karma farming. The alt-account abuse. The drama. No, they want it all back and can't fathom a part of social media where none of that is existent, save for a bare minimum. Hell, millions of people still somehow use Twitter today even though Musk has done a wonderous job taking a daily dump on it.

People really are afraid of change.

I feel a lot more contributory towards other platforms not Reddit. On Reddit, I just feel like I just say things until I hit walls. Those walls being, being confronted by shithead mods, dumbass trolls or feeling claustrophobic from where I can post because of the karma.

Sad !anime noises... I miss episode discussions.

I'm hoping I'm able to stick with the community I made, even if it never gets anywhere. It feels nice to be working on some kind of project. I need new ideas for content, though. I doubt scanning RSS feeds for relevant articles every day is gonna keep things interesting.

I just miss femboymemes :(

Sometimes it feels like I'm writing a journal entry for myself because no one else posts.

This might go slightly against the spirit of Lemmy, but for subreddits that act like a content feed where losing comments isn't a problem, I've created a reposter bot to mirror subreddits on Lemmy.

It has proven quite popular on !100yearsago@sh.itjust.works . If anyone wants me to mirror a similar sub just drop me a comment

Or all it is a bot that reposts reddit posts with no comments
