For all things Futurama

Rule 1: Don't be a jerkwad!

Rule 2: Alternate video links to be linked in a comment, below the original video.

Bad news everyone! Nobody is posting and I’m not getting my daily fix of Snu Snu, Mom slaps, Leela eye rolls, and of course opportunities to bite Bender’s shiny metal ass.

Let’s go folks!

Once the new season drops I think things will pick up.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I suspect most people (including me) are probably lurkers/upvoters. The lurkers will have more to say when the new season is live :)

Also, where does that subscriber count come from? I looked at this community via 3 different Lemmy instances & saw different numbers on each of them.. maybe that number is just specific to the amount of local instance members subscribed to that community. Here at lemmy.zip we're at 18 subscribers for [email protected]

Afaik, only the native instance reports accurate subscriber counts. I believe other instances report how many people in that instance are subscribed to it.

Third party platforms can show more through the API than the web page. I see 12k on Memmy

Here's another website that is a good directory/listing of Instances and Communities. https://lemmyverse.net/communities. I recommend using List View to see more at once.

12k of us waiting for YOU TO START POSTING OP

where the fuck are the memes

[–] somethingsnappy 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They are everywhere. I've seen more Futurama memes than is healthy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Ow! My sperm!

[–] EdibleFriend 2 points 1 year ago

no such thing.

Did everyone leave to start their own Futurama community with blackjack & hookers?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

This time we won't forget the blackjack, or the hookers.

I’m only seeing 9k but it’s basically a clone of a much more popular futurama forum that has constant posts. It’s gonna be tough to get consistent posts and engagement.

Keep in mind that the sub count you see is the number of subscribers from your instance. I see 9.3k from my lemmy.world account, 250ish from my lemmy.ml account, and 300ish from my lemm.ee account.

Not sure how/where OP sees 12k though.

[–] Earthwormjim91 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Could depend on the third party client they are using. It might show all subscribers across all federated instances.

I see 12k from Memmy on iOS

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

And you just had to ruin it didn't you?

[–] BadApe 12 points 1 year ago

Another lurker checking in.

I am rewatching the whole series for probably the 6th time now in prep for the new series.

It’s gunna be fun on a bun!

[–] Ginjutsu 11 points 1 year ago

Lurker checking in.

[–] gnarly 8 points 1 year ago

12k ain't that much. I run a sub of 75k and they only amass two or three posts a day max unless something happens. Just post your OC if it bothers you.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

New season pls then we will talk

[–] emptyother 3 points 1 year ago

Jupp, gonna be a lot of activity here then, I believe.

[–] G59 6 points 1 year ago

Bruh I'm just lurking here

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm seeing 300 subscribers.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If you view a community from your own instance you see the number of subscribers from your instance only.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Thank you. I'm new. The more you know. :)

[–] Botree 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn I didn't know that. That explains why the numbers look weird. Are there any ways to see the actual numbers?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

You can either search the community on lemmyverse.net or you can visit the community on their home instance.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Love just lurking about and upvoting.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Posting takes more effort than commenting. So good on you for posting something.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Posting a meta complaints about lack of posting doesn't count.

[–] Alchemy 5 points 1 year ago

Please post for us and help get the ball rolling.

[–] koraro 5 points 1 year ago

6 days and we'll be booming.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Please.....

[–] SambaSpy 3 points 1 year ago

Another lurker reporting for duty!

[–] miked 3 points 1 year ago

I'll do better
