The first I tried was Lemmy.ml. I applied and didn't hear back. So I joined Lemmy.world and registered immediately.
Well this is the response I was hoping for, but after being banned for years and hearing all the other banning stories, I truly wasn't sure.
Good to be here.
I swoon every time I need to edit a title...and can!
~And, yeah, we need more users.~
Tell me what you've found. I am open to plant based or lab grown.
The parallel world sub is Reddit. I didn't contact the parents, the kid was on /r/communism.
I am 100% serious.
People from other countries are also much easier to get to know. After that it's Norwegians who have experience abroad. But clubs and classes definitely work.
Well, Digg.com still exists. It's just that no one cares.
So far it's brought no one in. I noticed that some communities you can add immediately and some say pending. Is there a setting for this? Either interest is very low, or I have it sent for pending.
You need to join a club or take a class. That is the Norwegian way of breaking the silence. Instant connection.
I mod a 21 thousand member sub on Reddit and opened a similar one here. I put several relevant posts to get things started and let people on the sub know we are here with a tutorial on how to sign up and explanation on why it is good to have an alternate.
I now have about 20 members, a few coming each day. However no one has posted or replied at all.
Another community I created has a similar result.
I know there is a threshold of activity that stimulates more activity, but so far its not happening. I've started many active subreddits, including one in the 1% with half a million subscribers. I'm not new to community building. I'm honestly concerned.
I want to encourage everyone to post and comment in the little communities you have joined. You will be contributing to this whole project when you do.
