๐Ÿคฃ same

My zillowgonewild clone (!zillowgonewild@midwest.social) 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.

[โ€“] azimir@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] Dinsmore@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] ben@feddit.dk 4 points 1 year ago

I'll join for

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 ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Cocktail Community? Link it! :)

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!

Link to cocktail community please

[โ€“] Linuxduck@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am in the same boat... btw... I created a kitty community : D! https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/cats Join my kitty friend if you would like!!

oo its got cats and cat memes? That's like my top 6 favorite things.

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 ๐Ÿ‘

[โ€“] Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is how it starts. These are the early days

[โ€“] FrostBolt@kbin.social 1 points 1 year 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.

[โ€“] OtakuAltair@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Same boat! Except mine is nsfw ๐Ÿคจ (!animemidriff@lemmynsfw.com)

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

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

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

[โ€“] Duchess@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year 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

[โ€“] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

We are all just three people in a trench code.

[โ€“] WheeGeetheCat@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] MattTheProgrammer@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So, uh, what's the community?

[โ€“] WheeGeetheCat@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

It's !contagiouslaughter@sh.itjust.works

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!

[โ€“] xavier666@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh no, we have become like bots

[โ€“] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year 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.

[โ€“] xavier666@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] DudePluto@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Me over at comedyheaven lol

Keep up the grind man

[โ€“] Schooner@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah so can you post the template for this meme?

I have some ideas...

[โ€“] WheeGeetheCat@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

ps Id love to see what you make with it!

[โ€“] Schooner@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I'll keep you posted haha

[โ€“] YolkBrushWork402@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] WheeGeetheCat@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year 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

[โ€“] YolkBrushWork402@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 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

[โ€“] CrownCrafter@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Deltarune?! Please send the community over. I'm in.
