Hello everyone,
Basically the title.
In my case, I’m trying to address the regularly brought up issue about Lemmy/Kbin only being about memes, tech and news.
Hence, I’m trying to post regularly on
As we all know, growing a community is hard, but I hope that over time they will become more populated.
memes.
Mostly jlai.lu communities for French content, as well as ! olympics@sh.itjust.works
I also try to get into the habit of sharing my reads on the more appropriate community, and by default !humanities@beehaw.org
I like the Beehaw spirit, and I think we should aspire to get their level of moderation.
I am always a bit skeptical about posting content on one of their communities as they are defederated from LW and SJW, preventing most of the users (especially new joiners) to access it. What do you think?
LW + SJW accounts for about 24k of a total 60k MAU … so a little under half the lemmy-verse, on top of which there’s also kbin.
Something to think about though is the difference between user count and actual engagement.
A lot of the Twitter to mastodon migrants talked about this, finding that you could get more meaningful engagement on mastodon compared to pretty superficial vacuous stuff on twitter.
I stand corrected, but 40% of a platform is still a lot.
About the Twitter/Mastodon comparaison, I hope LW and SJW have not reached Twitter’s level of toxicity yet
I don’t really mind, I think it’s nice to give people a reason to join smaller instances anyway, ie. telling them they’ll get the quality content and good vibes of Beehaw if they avoid these two monster instances. But for targeting a large audience, yeah that doesn’t work!
I got started with !asklemmy@lemmy.ml, just 3 posts so far. I’d like to see askhistorians & askscience communities gaining more traction.
!climate@slrpnk.net is a nice source of climate change related news and discussions.
A Kerbal Space Program community: !ksp@lemmy.world
It’s an older game but it checks out! I know there must be a lot of others that still enjoy KSP and it would be nice for this community to take off 🖖
