I agree with this, but I think many subscribers are from accounts that are no longer active.

I appreciate all you admins here, I really do. Far more transparent than from Reddit and you do it all without making profit.

The pinned post to Lemmy World sounded like (to me) that you recognize a lot of people signed up, made communities, and then have abandoned Lemmy leaving a lot of ghost communities that you all want to clean up. Totally understandable, especially with all the legal considerations about leaving online spaces unmoderated.

It just got me thinking about how Lemmy has changed, and how I really want it to succeed. I can try and follow this suggestion, but I almost feel like for a lot of the more niche interests, Lemmy will sort of just be in a holding mode until Reddit inevitably fumbles the ball again leading to a new migration, this time with a more clear destination.

Yeah I figured go/baduk would be a hard community to start, which is one of the reasons I chose the Chiefs.

But this isn’t just the difficulty of growing a community from a small start, this is seeing a community grow then shrink. Going through many niche communities the post rate and comment rate seems down across the board, outside of the biggest communities on the site. Combatting a shrinking community seems even more difficult than growing from a small start.

On point 4, the key part that you are missing is that evaporation /takes/ energy. The standard central air works closer to how you are thinking by the evaporator above your furnace taking heat to then be dumped out by the condenser outside. This is necessary because it is a closed system that must continually reuse the refrigerant.

Sweat, and the swamp cooler you have here, are not closed systems and therefore don’t have to “dump” heat. Energy was transferred to the water molecules to cause them to evaporate. As latent heat exists (Google this if you are still confused) the heat energy has been transferred to “evaporation” energy and so the heat can be reduced without breaking any thermal laws.

Basically the water on your skin or in the swamp cooler is like a wall that heat has to break down. The heat can do this, and does get through but has been reduced by the work and is therefore less strong (lower temperature.

There was no subtraction or addition to total energy when you look at the whole process. Heat energy was transferred to kinetic energy to cause the state change of the water.

Central AC has to dump heat to reuse the refrigerant. The swamp cooler doesn’t have to dump heat but needs to be refilled often as the evaporation of water takes matter away from the system.

Yup! Don’t want to seem ungrateful! I love this app and how far it has progressed. Just sharing feedback of things that would make it even better.

Yes the Eagles had the better pass rush. But as this article points out the Chiefs had the second best sack rate behind them and only 1 less post season sack this year.

Well maybe by 2030 we’ll be able to play the game.

Kansas City Chiefs is the community I started here. But I was active on Reddit in that, Kerbal Space Program, Baduk (Go), and space and science communities.

😭😭 Lol more likely I’m not good at generating good content. I was above a lurker on Reddit but not by much. I’m just trying here cuz spez pissed me off.

Yup same here. A bit smaller but all my “core” subreddits have been duplicated here and like many older redditors my favorite subs were already smaller ones. I actually think it’ll last and I’m not going back. Had they just priced out 3PA maybe but I can’t use that platform after what they let spez say. Rich lying assholes can’t keep getting away with it.

Ok what if you made the community and posted in it twice daily and now feel like you are talking to yourself?

Ok what if you made a community, posted in it twice a day since the shutdown and now feel like ur talking to much?
