This is how it starts. These are the early days

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Yeah! That's what's so exciting

I've been following this: https://botsin.space/@threadcount

and it's been incredible to see the growth.

Lol I feel ya. I started a cocktail community and a succulents community and Im trying to get some engagement happening so I'll comment on every post and comment and I've got a bunch of own posts planned to keep things going. It's actually kind of fun for now, but I've never moderated anything before, so I am a tad worried about what will happen if they outgrow my modding abilities. Until then, I'll just keep dancing around and promoting the communities 🙃

Cocktail Community? Link it! :)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Link to cocktail community please

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks. Subbed

We are in the same boat! Im also having fun with it. It reminds me of the way I acted when I first got on the web - which was much more focused on adding things to my small website and chatting in 1 or 2 small communities. I'm liking the change of pace.

I do love succulents though so I'll sneak over there and check it out. Maybe I can contribute!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Succulent community?
I loved that one too! let's go.
So far I found https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] to have some activity, but I do love me some succulent specific sub.

Went to your profile, apparently right now you have a thread inside the "random" magazine. You'd probably want to create your own magazine so that people can suscribe, count me in to volunteer some pics of my babies to get the content going.

Literally me, I've been asking questions to get people talking and I've also been making content for people to look at and I've been commenting all over the place just so i can have discussion

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

whats your community?

sidenote: I thought I would be able to easily tell by clicking people's profiles, but apparently not all fediverse sites show the places you mod on your profile? the mysteries of the fediverse continue for me

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's not the community I'm Moderating but I've been asking questions on AskKbin, Deltarune, Omori and History and those posts are aimed to get more discussion

The Community i own tho is a subreddit for Arts, Writing, Photography, Music and Engineering which is CreateCord(i think it's on Kbin social) and it has no members yet but I'm getting people to join it and then I'll have a discussion with them over there

🤣 same

My zillowgonewild clone ([email protected]) has a couple hundred subscribers, but so far its been me and like 2 other people posting anything. It'll happen eventually, though.

I have no idea what actually moderating a community is like, so the limited activity is probably a blessing that I'm too naive to appreciate rn.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

your WHATNOW clone? You've got another lurker now =)

[–] Badass_panda 2 points 2 years ago

Has anyone called you a Nazi yet? In my experience that's just down the road

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

That's a great idea for a community topic. I'm in.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I know you're all just DYING to ask me what the community is

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So, uh, what's the community?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

I totally wasn't waiting nearby for you to ask.

It's [email protected]

A place to post any video of someone laughing in that good way that also makes you laugh :)

~~We'd~~ I'd love to have you stop by!

I read this as ‘contagious slaughter’

Hurry I’m almost already dead.. what is the community?

[–] OtakuAltair 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Same boat! Except mine is nsfw 🤨 ([email protected])

Someone had to do it. I hope people make the other ones I miss, or I might have to do it myself

[–] DudePluto 6 points 2 years ago

Hey I remember that community! I came across it the other day when I was doing ‐

... research.

[–] weepingSomnambulist 10 points 2 years ago

Thank you for your efforts. Since joining lemmy i finally realized what a hard work it is for pioneers like you to build a community. I hope it paid off soon 👍

[–] DudePluto 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Me over at comedyheaven lol

Keep up the grind man

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

We are all just three people in a trench code.

[–] Falmarri 3 points 2 years ago

Aren't you needed at the business factory?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Oh no, we have become like bots

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

It sucks that we have to be like bots. But you know what works? Being like a bot.

The only way to build what we want to build is to roll up our sleeves and get to it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

It's fine by me. "Fake it till you make it" is an actual strategy, unless you are dealing with money

[–] Freesoftwareenjoyer 2 points 2 years ago

You are right. I can't even pass a google captcha anymore...

[–] Zaros 5 points 2 years ago

I'm just having fun chatting with people.

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

Don't forget to comment, like, and boost from your Mastodon account as well.

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

I don't even have a mastadon account so I guess thats a whole pile of potential I can explore

Ah so can you post the template for this meme?

I have some ideas...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

does template = raw image with no text?

If so then this hopefully works

You can also find a lot of similar stuff by image searching for 'clones' and 'photoshop clones' since a LOT of people make and post images like this when they are learning photoshop.

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

ps Id love to see what you make with it!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I'll keep you posted haha

[–] Duchess 2 points 2 years ago

i haven't and don't intend to create a community bc i crumble under any tiny level of responsibility but i've been commenting on any post i have something to say on, and up/downvoting every post i see depending on the content. i've killed hours at work so far lol

[–] Deltoids 2 points 2 years ago

You're a hero in my book.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Thank you for your service 🫡
