Regular posters, which communities are you currently focusing on?
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.
I run a motorcycle community specific to the model we ride, and unfortunately not getting much traction.
Unfortunately these communities thrive off original 1st party content, DIY fixes, new purchases, questions etc.
I'm having trouble generating that organically.
We need lemmy searches to show up in Google. Then we can name topics appropriately (read; accurately) so that they are found by more people.
Right now it's like shouting into the abyss.
Have you tried expanding scope from a specific model to any model from that manufacturer?
I have not. I don't want to make things more convoluted, and also there are other Make specific communities so maybe I'll just concentrate over there.
!greentext@lemmy.ml Cause I really liked the sub back on redd*t.
!fantasyfootball@lemmy.world I have been posting a lot to try to get it active in time for the start of regular season. I found the same community on Reddit helpful in sourcing advice/consensus on certain players and such
I’m hoping !artbykids@lemmyworld.com picks up. It’s a community to post art created by kids. I know a lot of parents are proud of their kids’ artwork but don’t want to share it because they don’t know if everybody else would find it great/cute/adorable/etc. This is a positive community where any artwork by kids is welcome with positive vibes. I hope it gets more people proudly showing off their kids’ artwork, because I think kids artwork is more than just a piece of art, it’s a window into a kid’s mind.
Here’s a negative of your question: I’m blocking/ignoring every community that is just endless bot posts. And there are a lot of them.
You can also just turn off viewing accounts that are marked as bots
I tend to ban bots too
Currently focusing on !games@lemmy.world and !games@sh.itjust.works which are pretty much the same thing. The communities are a lot more active than last month so things are looking pretty good.
I also want to focus on getting a graphic novels community up and running but I don't have that much free time sadly.
That's good to hear!
Do you think at some point they should merge to just have more activity and content in one place rather than people having to discuss the same things twice?
!hockey@lemmy.world. I just wanna have a fun place to discuss the sport I love again!
probably any of the book or art comms
!homebrewing@sopuli.xyz is probably the community I'm most active in. It's a welcoming community for anyone who brews their own alcohol (mainly beer focused I would say but some people have made mead and other wines).
I wouldn't call myself a "regular poster" but I was making an effort to try putting some stuff on !superautopets@lemmy.world before BG3 started monopolizing my attention.
All the "Ask" munis mostly, with the cycling munis next and the local munis right behind that.
