Just a few unobtrusive ways to organically advertise a community:
Mention it in adjacent communities.
Cross-post posts from it onto related pages and be sure to watermark OC and link to the original post.
Link to the community on other social media pages.
Engage with every post and comment your community receives. People will be more likely to return to a community where they think they'll get interaction and feedback for their engagement.
Great answer … came to say the same!
Reposting with better formatting though (no blank lines in between bullet points)
I appreciated the white space (using Voyager iOS) FWIW
In the web interface the white spaces disappear and destroy the bullet points, which is not what you see I presume and objectively worse. Interesting that the apps are using different markdown parsers, which is dangerous given that each have their idiosyncrasies.
Oh that’s no good!
Should post this to a Fediverse community… maybe there’s already a thread.
I mean Voyager should just use the same markdown processor as lemmy does. I don’t know how jerboa (the official mobile app made by the lead devs). But something similar should probably be done.
Ah so it’s a Voyager inconsistency then. In a way it’s appreciated behavior but problematic as well.
Also I posted this from Voyager - web displays
&, Voyager iOS displays&without theamp;. Another case for using the same processor sounds like!Edited to try to correct escaped text, but I can’t remove the amp-semicolon after the ampersand symbol in the second escaped section
Created a thread!
Nice!!
As someone who used to do web dev & design, I’d die and go to heaven if any two environments managed to render with a passing resemblance between them (especially between environment type – web, mobile, pc, refrigerator).
That sounds like a good candidate for an open source library, if it isn’t already, right? Standardise more things?
Well lemmy is using a package to process markdown that is OSS as far as I know, so it should be possible to bundle that with any app.
