How are you doing with your communities?

!gothindustrial@lemmy.world just hit 600 subscribers over the weekend. A couple different people posting, which is nice. A modest number of comments and discussions, but it's a niche topic so not really surprising. I was made a mod for a while but renounced it, mostly bc I didn't want to take on the commitment. But it did make me consider that if only the mods are posting, newcomers might be reluctant to post. So it's good to have regular posters who are not mods.

Funny thing, after I clicked to give up mod powers, they returned after I signed in again next time. I think the other mods hadn't yet realized I gave them up? Anyway, I wrote some goth song lyrics about the feeling of signing in and then seeing that I had been made a mod again:

This dreaded label
is haunting my name
This dreaded label
like a sigil arcane

This tag! (it burns it burns it burns)
Like a dagger to the eye!
This tag! (it burns it burns it burns)
It corrodes me inside!
(unearthly shrieking)

(minimalist guitar solo)

lel that's a joke btw
