Arknights is a free-to-play mobile Tower Defense gacha game developed by Hypergryph. Lemmy users, please visit the original instance for the full rules. But TL;DR, No NSFW art, very low effort shitposts, english only, no AI art, no excessive self-promo.

Well, coming over here for one. Ruminating on how to make this place what I want it to be. Shame I know fuckall about search engine optimization and community-building.

Yea, definitely been a bit of a learning curve, but hey, what new site hasn't?

Not quite a learning curve (about the same as Reddit was, back in the day), moreso the grand struggle to populate pages. Even m/Arknights is smaller than it ought to be. Sure, it's young, but for all the explosive growth people are bandying about, it worries me if none of it manages to trickle down to more specific communities.

[email protected] and such are all well and good, but how do we get people over via search engine when Reddit is actively prioritized by Google? How do you get people onto Mastodon when it's such a comparative pain to get to the content you want?

This is a lot of hand-wringing for what amounts to like 1hr of my time a day, but I'm a hand-wringing sort of person.

@MonsieurHedge @Xperr7 Yeah like add to that some bugs in the system when Mastodon User can reply normally, but bot that you somehow scramble to do the most lazy way won't show up on Kbin. You can find instance owner but an ArknightsEN bot won't show up in search. And with these bugs around you have to explain people what they can do here and why sometimes they can speak sometimes can't how to track things from Mastodon, Why # from mastodon show up on kbin but not otherwise...
