Happy with the weekly thread on [email protected], especially as that community is in the highlight on Lemmy.world. Hopefully that will give niche communities more visibility
I’m gutted. It seems https://libretechni.ca broke. As a result, everything was lost, including [email protected]
[email protected] is going crazy right now. I’m super pleased to see it doing so well. All thanks to @[email protected]
I’m really pleased to see [email protected] standing on its own legs along with [email protected]. Really proud of both of these two. Though I’m always trying to recruit @[email protected] to join the moderation teams.
Oh and [email protected] never disappoints. The numbers of new posts and upvotes are good but I’m hoping to try and figure out how to get more commenting over there.
Been a bit busy over the past week though, so I’m not getting to give everything the love I want.
It seems https://libretechni.ca broke. As a result, everything was lost, including [email protected]
It seems to be back. Is there a second admin there? Would you prefer to move the community to an instance with a more transparent administration?
Visit in your browser, it says cannot find community https://libretechni.ca/c/selfhosted
Oh crap, didn’t notice that. Did you try to reach out to the admin?
Nah, just left them to it. If they cared, they would’ve messaged. I’m guessing they wanna be left alone.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
I’ll try to comment more in HHH
It needs some comment worthy threads. Right now it’s all just videos, so not conducive to community building
Fresh music videos can be, but I get your point when it’s a 10 year old video just getting posted because the OP is into it.
I think most of the time music communities aren’t really conducive to discussions. The main thing you want to say is: “yeah, that’s great” but that’s what upvotes are for. It’s more important to have regular posts, which looks like it’s happening on HHH.
A bit frustrated about [email protected] fragmenting the conversation from [email protected]
Seems to be a [email protected] and [email protected] situation where both communities stay active without any way to consolidate
Sometimes it’s best just to let things be. In my experience, the higher quality conversation tends to be away from LW. But there’s some exceptions to that. I wish https://lemmy.film was still around.
What will be great is if/when there’s a multi-Reddit style feature that will aggregate similar communities across instances into one feed. Not sure how you’d deal with duplicate posts though.
Multireddit would still show the duplicate posts twice, and people would have to choose which version they want to comment to.
Fragmentation issue would still be there.
Yeah, I wonder if there would be a way to combine the duplicate posts into like a thread type of thing? Idk. Tough challenge to deal with, smarter people than I haven’t found a solution yet
But then you would have groups with completely opposite point of views clashing, which is a reason why they are in different communities in the first place.
Let’s take a famous example. An article about a new type of electric vehicles. [email protected] would probably be interested in interesting the technicalities of the new type, while [email protected] would probably focus on how cars, even if electric, should still be limited.
People would get quite aggressive against each other, and mods would have an issue moderating the whole discussion, because a mod on the electrichevehicles community wouldn’t be able to moderate comments from the people from the !fuckcars community and vice-versa.
Communities are usually split for a good reason, and that makes sense.
When separate communities exist but share the same stance and rules on one topic, that’s where discussion that should happen in one place gets fragmented. [email protected] and [email protected] have no reason to be split. The lemm.ee version is more active, have more proactive mods, but the LW has a broader audience due to the LW position in Lemmy. So some people keep posting on the LW version, keeping a weird situation where both situations are active at the same time.
I’m not saying aggregated feeds like that be the default, just an option available for someone like me who is neutral about what instance are community that content surrounding a given subject comes from. It would be a handy way to put them in one feed and interact with all of those communities
Oh, I see.
Still technically cumbersome. One of the main Lemmy dev recommends merging similar communities
there will be lots of duplicate posts and comments, which increases server load and confuses users. Better to merge the communities in the first place.
Summit app supports multi community. The movie groups are the first multi I made.
Good to know!
Well, on the optimistic side: two thriving but redundant communities is better than two stagnant communities.
Maybe you can embrace it. Like, have inter-community events such as a regular monthly discussion that alternates between communities. It’s only a problem when there are duplicate posts, right?
I’m finding I’m a lot less frustrated now that Thunder has great support for cross-posts. On any one post you can see a list of all the other posts, their votes, and comment counts.
It’s super easy to jump between all the threads discussing the same thing and participate in them all.
Interesting, thank for sharing @[email protected] maybe that is what you were looking for?
Hmmm possibly. I will check it out, thank you
[email protected] is doing pretty good for being such a niche and i think you all should get your asses on your bikes and go on some well deserved fun and cheap holidays too, then post about it there.
Ha ha ha
You have deserved your holiday too! Fun, cheap, healthy, good for the environment ;)
Ive made two communities, [email protected] and [email protected]. Wizards recently broke 500 subs and is seeing posts by other users so thats really cool. Gameclub was abandoned awhile back but Ive retooled it and I still think it can serve as a catchall/casual/meme space on the site. I am posting more on other lemmy gaming communities to keep them active as well.
I stepped into a temporary position as a stopgap when the old mod of [email protected] was taking a leave of abscence and it kind of bit me in the ass when the first post in months hit over 200 comments and 15 reports. I’ve added a couple new mods and Im open to adding more if anyone seems interested.
In all honesty I’ve started using tumblr more than lemmy, which on one hand is good as it gives me more content to post but on the other hand it means Im not here as often commenting and keeping an eye on things.
[email protected] is awesome. 188 posts in 3 months is hard work. Respect!
I have to say I’m really damn happy with the first half-year of [email protected].
MAU is still nearly double the sub-count so there’s tons of interest.
The first season has now finished airing, but I’m going to run a series of manga discussion threads while continuing the usual posts, which should help the people who don’t watch seasonally find their way to the community.
The anime adaptation turned out absolutely stellar, and as more people watch it now that a season is out to binge in full, I’m certain this fandom will only continue to grow.
