Honestly, my favorite part of running a community is when a new face joins and posts something they like. It doesn't matter if their posts don't look like mine. Other people's posts make me feel like I'm not just posting into the void.

Hello,

Shout out to you and your very cool community [email protected]!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Thank you! And also, thank you for sticking up for us on Reddit and helping the whole community grow. Keep up the good work!

Shoutout to @Pugjesus for keeping shit alive!

[–] PugJesus 5 points 3 months ago

Just trying my best to keep things alive until they're self-sustaining!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (2 children)

It definitely feels like the community has gained some kind of traction.

Also is Catbox working for you? I've not been able to access it for weeks.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Catbox is working fine for me. Below, there should be a video of Scott Kelly in a gorilla suit on the ISS.

ISP problem use DNS or VPN.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Tried it and just did some tinkering with the DNS settings, nothing.

I've been using a UK-based site to check if it's down and that does show it as down when others, from elsewhere, show it as up but jumping between Germany and the US makes no difference.

edit: tried via Belgium and Japan and got nothing but Poland has worked. I can't explain that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

It definitely works for me.

Ah, too bad, are you still able to see the picture?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I can see images hosted on the files subdomain but can't access the site's front page or watch videos on there. Weird.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Weird indeed, but at least you can see images

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Yeah, it's a good feeling.

I was keeping [email protected] going for months, now I just check in every so often, and there's starting to be conversations there, and it's almost at 300. It's not the most active community in the 'verse, but it is active. Cheers to Emperor and velox vulnus for contributing

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Nice community, I remember seeing it a while back. Good to make the exercise to remember how prevalent US culture can be in other countries.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

As a Yank myself, I actually appreciate that community. Lemmy and Mbin have worldly, logical arguments that wouldn't get far on an American social media echo chamber. If the rest of the world doesn't make themselves heard loud and clear, civilization will collapse.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

No worries - I try and pick up on media that doesn't come from the US as it keeps things interesting (even if the most engagement comes from American blockbusters), so happy to cross-post there too.

[–] Godric 7 points 3 months ago

Feels good man!

I love seeing the anime art!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

I feel seen.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I've basically lost all interest in keeping my communities alive at this point. I tried posting daily myself, I encouraged others to join in, I had bots pulling content from reddit to have any activity there, people grew discontent but didn't post themselves. Basically back to square one and don't feel like starting out again. Guess I'm good without them

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Post once in a week. No need to post daily. Like I do in [email protected]. Also, I was thinking to post in [email protected] but will never post on [email protected] until it get remastered or ported to PC.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

How many posts at a time do you post?

One can hope that there will be some movement in the Bloodborne camp sometime in the future

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

2 or 3 atleast

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

That's fine, your niches were probably too small for the current lemmy population.
Souls-like fans will probably have to go to more generalist video game communities

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I checked out a couple of your posts on reddit where you also mention that we had an active community of around 70k people across the entirety of Lemmy. I was under the impression that we're a lot more. In light of that, it makes sense they didn't pop off more. Shittydarksouls seems general enough to gather enough people

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

It's even less than that, it's 45k monthly active users

Didn't know about [email protected] , so it's probably where most of the people are

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I tried to keep a few communities that I made going, but I've burned out on my hobby and haven't found anything else worth posting. It can definitely be draining.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

It definitely does

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Litterally me whenever someone post on [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yay for lemmy contributors. I love finding new things to post in the few communities I frequent, it's fun for me, believe it or not. But it's also great to see others get a kick from the same things.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Thank you for your posts!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

How about creating a post on [email protected] ? That usually gives the best visibility

I'll also add you to the "manual hobbies" thread, but a dedicated post would be better

[–] PlantDadManGuy 3 points 3 months ago

Thanks M8, will do

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Ooh, I have no skills in bonsai but I do enjoy looking at them, subscribed

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Microgrowery needs some help.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I posted a thread yesterday on [email protected] with manual hobbies communities, including cannabis. Maybe it's worth considering merging [email protected] with one of those?

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

It's always a refreshing feeling!
