Yeah! Id play a lot more if it was modded. Im really enjoying an altered version of valhelsia 6 at the moment with a couple of friends. Something about magic and tech really does it for me

It seems we never had a big player base in the first place, when I played there was never more than 3 or 4 peoples at once on high activity days, when there are peoples it’s usually 1 or 2, and there is no one at all the rest (most) of the time.

There isn’t much activity in the Minecraft lemmigrad com either. People don’t seem to know the server or the sub even exist.

If we want more activity we need a bigger player base, it doesn’t matter what happen to the server if no one knows it even exists.

In my sense the lemmigrad Minecraft community has 2 problems:

1. Our lack of activity on lemmigrad make us hard to notice for peoples who aren’t already aware of us.

2. Our low player base and it’s lack of coordination makes it so players find themselves playing alone most of the time which negate the interest of having a server as opposed to a single player world.

These 2 problems feed of each other in a loop, (2) disincentivize playing on the server which keeps activity low, low activity perpetuate (1) which keep the player base from increasing which maintain the conditions for (2).

In my opinion the main way to solve this issue is to begin by tackling (2), since it would be hard under the current conditions to increase our player base right of the bat, we should begin by improving the coordination of our current player base by making it easier for player to know when other players are/will be online, via a dedicated matrix channel for exemple.

Making sure that player are able to actually play together should increase engagement, which should increase activity on the lemmigrad Minecraft sub, which should in turn make the sub more visible and potentially bring in more players.

What do you think?

One of the big things was that there were never very many players to begin with, we just had a few who were active a lot. A matrix and more promotion (what I tried and failed to do with the pvp thing) would definitely help. And I'm making a matrix channel (more secure than discord)

Modded could be cool, I’d like to have the create mod.

I would love galacticraft and galaxyspace too but the last versions are for 1.12.2 .

MTR mod so we can make trains

One problem is see is that we have a bunch of minecraft servers. There isn't just lemmycraft, but also the hexbear server(s) (not sure if they are still running). Them there is my own server, which is a little different because its more or less non-political queer server.

Both in terms or resources and player base it would be very reasonable to try and kinda merge these together, or at least merge the hexbear and lemmycraft servers, since mine is kinda different due to the political makeup of the player base. it would also be useful to have something like matrix or discord or both, optimally with chat bridge to the mc server.

This would allow us to have multiple servers and spread out moderation work more easily. And it would also just get more people here.
