An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Small victory, I finally have more followers on pixelfed than Instagram.

Don't really have many people to celebrate this with. Thought y'all would appreciate it.

Well ain't that a thing.

[–] tuckerm@feddit.online 17 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Whatcha posting? Can we follow you?

[–] BehindetheClouds@reddthat.com 15 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

That sounds way too exciting for this place.

[–] tuckerm@feddit.online 11 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

That's true. OP, if you do tell us what your Pixelfed account is, please type it as flatly as possible.

I'll make sure I imagine it in a monotone voice as well

Mostly analog photos of anything that I find interesting.

Pixelfed is great. It’s good to have a serious art community.

I’ve found it pretty stable, do you have certain issues? Have you tried the release version?

How about engagement, are you getting more comments?

[–] randombullet@programming.dev 8 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah I'd definitely say so. Maybe 5 total comments but overall better than expected

The community doesn't really talk, but I do get a lot of reposts and boosts

[–] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 4 points 4 weeks ago

Ah nice, I never used pixelfed myself, but on PeerTube and Mastodon I get much more engagement compared to YouTube and Twitter while I was using it.

Good on you, sir! I love small victories like this one. Also, the fediverse crowd is normally small, but loyal with actual nice and polite conversations.

Well done. Cheers mate.

Don't really have many people to celebrate this with.

I guess you must not have had many followers on Instagram 😂

[–] randombullet@programming.dev 3 points 3 weeks ago

Most I assume are bots that have spicy photos so you can subscribe to their OF.

[–] ozoned@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

And now you have one more!  Beautiful stuff!  Keep up the good work.  :-)

[–] randombullet@programming.dev 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Thank you! I definitely want to contribute more to the community!

[–] ozoned@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

I'm sure everyone out there knows this, but for those unaware, you don't even have to be on Pixelfed to follow Random Bullet! You can follow it from Mastodon, Piefed, etc. The power of the Fediverse! :-) I'm following from my GoToSocial. <3 :-D
