There’s not enough users yet for every community to have daily activity.
And not everyone who might like a given community, has found it yet.
The solution to both is to recommend lemmy to friends and to post stuff yourself.
yeah I know, just wanted to make a joke about the posters being patient
It was a solid joke, my friend!
Honestly, even with the idea of daily content in mind, I would prefer that we just didn’t end up making a bunch of “anyone else stopped playing games cuz job and old?” or “it’s okay to quit games. Here’s a bunch of totally relatable reasons why tou shouldn’t have a backlog” threads and calling it content. They’re unoriginal, samey, and sometimes I feel, botted.
I think it was a mistake trying to recreate all niche communities to begin with. We should have just created larger communities, which over time naturally create niche offshoots.
I wouldn’t say it was a mistake, but it was certainly overly ambitious. It’s the fediverse, people are free to build communities how they see fit. But we also have to live with people using that freedom in suboptimal ways. The cream will eventually rise to the top.
Raise your dongers, bro. Where’s Small Cat?
Where’s Lisha? 😭
I’m just a qtpie, not the qtpie
That’s what the real imaqtiepie would say. Don’t worry bro, not gonna dox you.
Hope that you’ll join Dignitas again sometime in the future, man!
What the fuck is everybody talking about?
I stole my username from a League of Legends ex-pro/streamer. The Man, the Myth, the Legend.
I think some folks were more interested in rushing in to be king of the hill rather than actually building communities
Kinda the opposite of patient, no?
Nah start with the small stuff not everyone what’s to be apart of the big community
It doesn’t help that users might be split across instances. I posted recently over on this instance: [email protected]
I didn’t want to repeat my post and annoy people who might see it two or three times.
You should use the cross posting feature in these cases. It still creates multiple posts, but they all get linked up.
How do I do that?
Not sure how you’re viewing Lemmy, but on the website tap the icon that looks like two squares overlayed one another, then select the community
Oh right. I’ve been using Voyager so maybe that feature isn’t there yet. Will give it a shot on the web version.
Does this exist on Voyager? I can’t seem to login to lemmy.world via web browser as it never seems to acknowledge Ive logged in!
I don’t believe so. I mostly use Memmy and I don’t think it’s on that either. Cross-posting isn’t like it was on Reddit though, over here it basically just makes a new post with the same content in a quote, then sites the original post up top
I’m excited for 2030 when Starfield will finally be on sale for $15.
Wait for price drop begins once all the DLCs are out.
Hopefully one of the DLCs adds land vehicles 🤞🏻
Still waiting for Niet Automata to drop. So far, the game refuses to. It even went UP.
Yeah, it’s been way too quiet here. Where is everyone? I don’t want to go back to “that site”
Sometimes you need to be the content you wish to see.
That’s why I’m commenting, but we need more people.
Bring your friends. And if you don’t have those, post about this sub on other subs.
Tbh, people expected more users to migrate than what ended up happening. The rawness of the Lemmy UX definitely disrupted what could have been a much larger exodus. And many users haven’t been able to transition from lurking and doom scrolling to actively contributing as a member of a community.
But the group of users here now, while relatively small, is vastly superior in average quality to the users on reddit. So just keep being knowledgeable and fun and slowly but surely, people will continue to siphon over from reddit. It’ll take a while for the trickle of users to turn into a stream, and maybe at some point a waterfall.
I’m quite proud of what we were able to accomplish in r/place over the past week, I know a lot of people here think it’s dumb to even participate but as you say, we need more users. You’ve gotta figure this will help at least a bit.
This turned into a bit of a ramble, but basically I was trying to say all you gotta do is contribute and participate however you can and have faith users will be drawn by our positive energy.
I’ll post tomorrow, pinky promise.
👀
Just a matter of hours now …
It’s been 8 hours 👀
I’ll patiently wait for your post.
I actually see that there is a lot of potential for a high quality sub because the posters seem to contribute often, and with intelligrnt content. Will try to post more myself, I love patient gaming
You can only post in communities that are at least five years old.
