So damn emblematic of the way we carelessly use tech on a major scale, as well as relentlessly re-order the environment to our taste.

So... TTB? (typical tankie behavior)

And yeah, I know who they are. Nutomic actually helped with a Lemmy issue, once. FWIW.

Do you have a particular bone to pick with them, PJ? I mean other than their general poly-ticks?

(love your contributions, btw; thanks for all you do!)

I agree with the people urging you to do your best to take care of your sublemmy once you create it. On top of that, I also feel that most types of communities need you and/or others to be motivated promoters and content creators, even if you're just pulling 'best of' content from elsewhere.

So-- IMO it's generally best to think of it as a volunteer job. And from what I've seen, most community founders don't necessarily realise that, and aren't actually up to the task, hence the # of abandoned subs across the FV (fediverse).

IME one thing that really helps with growing subscribers is that due to the current size of the FV, almost any small community posting content on a regular basis is going to be seen by a fairly large proportion of the FV via the "ALL" feed. Whereas for example, that's almost impossible on Reddit. It really helps!

Oh! Vous êtes en fait l'auteur, n'est-ce pas?

Do you mind if I add a link in our "WEBCOMIX!" post? (2nd from top)

Oh wow, thanks for sharing the link! Lots of good stuff there. :D

Everyone in the building happened to flush their toilets at the same time.

Fun factoid: there's an urban legend about so many people flushing their toilets during halftime of the NFL Super Bowl, that it actually broke municipal water mains.

And of course, most of the right-wing voters probably don't know and/or care to understand that FOX was founded as a propaganda outlet in the first place.

Ah, I see the edit now. Me like!

Wha... what is this? The official comic actually succumbing to your HwoH project?

All we need is one more well-placed balloon there, and Robert's your avuncular figure!

Well, there's a nice example of a brick wall. Alrighty, then.

 

With much thanks to PF's site-runner, as well as good advice from @Blaze@piefed.social, we've successfully moved!

On the positive tip, we were able to preserve ~390 out of ~550 historical posts, so that's better than starting over. On a more sobering side, it looks like we're going to lose most of our (current) ~1,260 subscribers, and PieFed being a different instance, running different software, it's not clear to me if we're going to get the same exposure to "ALL" streams that we once enjoyed.

While it's true that I can invite individual members to join, it seems that (unlike PF), the Lemmy software doesn't allow me to see a list of subscribers, even as the founder and head mod. If anyone has any ideas on that, feel free to advise...

In any case, I hope you find something you might like at our (now smaller 😅) community / sub-lemmy.
