I have thought about this and decided to post here since it was suggested that it could go here.
Anyway, I’m currently feeling like I need to speak to someone and might be able to help. I haven’t been doing much with the koala community I create here since I have been feeling a bit down.
Even though I’m thinking about it, I’m still wondering how I would incorporate a koala comfort place into it where one could talk about concerning things that may also be worrisome things.
And I’m also currently planning on posting links to articles about koalas and petitions to help koalas and/or their habit posted to it, which the post titles will be marked in []s if they are for a petition, article, or something else. If anyone has any ideas they want to talk to me, feel free to let me know.
The one thing right now that is slowing me down is the amount of e-mails I’m currently getting, which is now over two hundred e-mails a day. This is mainly due to the amount of non-profit organizations that are sending me emails about surveys, petitions, donation requests, and actions to take among other things.
That has me now wondering if I need to create a list of them here so you can help me figure out which ones I may have to filter into the trash.
Not sure why you’re down, but don’t feel bad about not posting.
Look, I’m gunna be straight with you, Lemmy can be frustrating when it comes to providing content to your community because, yea some people comment and of course you get votes, But little to no one CONTRIBUTES
People have no issue consuming content, but a lot seem to have zero desire and interest in contributing.
This can be exhausting. Especially if you have a lot of communities like myself.
It feels thankless, and like a waste of time sometimes. I now only post when I’m feeling in the mood for it. But I don’t post insistently anymore because really that makes it work and no fun.
Having said all this. It makes me wonder how far lemmy will even develop if it stays like this.
Bots and posting web links with zero description, area not the answer. People, at least from what I gather, are not interested in recycled or manufactured content.
Too many are comfortable providing nothing but consuming everything, and then bitching that no one is participating in communities of their niche interest or also not even creating communities for their niche and then just complaining that it’s not on Lemmy.
Like look, you have to make at least a little bit of an effort. You can’t just take take take and then bitch bitch bitch but provide nothing to help the situation.
I like your community, I always upvote your posts and comment when I can. You deserve a break don’t feel bad about it.

I’m just feeling a bit down because of a number of things going on in the world, and especially the various things that are happening to the environment and the wilderness that seem to worry me. I’m not feeling bad about not posting since I’m looking for ideas on what to post.

I’m not exactly frustrated when it comes to providing content to my community, even though I’m getting so many emails a day that have been slowing me down, not because little to no one contributes.

I don’t moderate a lot of communities, I only have one community I moderate.

Yeah, this may make someone wonder what the future of Lemmy could end up being.

I’m not a bot, and I don’t use bots to post web links with zero description because that is not the answer, and I try not to recycle or manufacture content.

I’m not bitching that no one is participating in communities of my niche interest, even though I have already created a community on here. And I do make some effect and I’m not bitching about it.
I like your community, I always upvote your posts and comment when I can. You deserve a break don’t feel bad about it.
Its good people like you like my community, and I think that I may try a koala kasual or something topic in it soon, even though I’m currently in a bit of a break trying to figure out the two munch e-mails issue I have.
You’re doing great ok ! Don’t give up !
To clarify
I wasn’t referring to you about people bitching. You created your community so that statement wasn’t directed towards you.
It’s directed towards people who don’t do that
Hope that makes more sense
You are not obligated to receive any of those emails, you can choose to unsubscribe from any or all of them.
Right now, I’m already deleting e-mails trying to control it. But I can start listing all the non-profit organizations I’m getting e-mails from here to figure out who to stop getting e-mails from.
