I’m not gonna lie, sometimes it feels a bit lonely. I try to post on a few generic communities

Sometimes I can be the only poster for a few weeks. Makes me requestion the relevance of posting at all. I started posting to [email protected] recently just because at least my posts are widely seen, and other people post there as well.
I think part of the issue is there’s multiple communities on different instances for the same topic. I’m subscribed to like 4 different movie communities. If we all just stuck to one, maybe there would be better engagement?
That’s interesting, because I can exactly tell you why there are so many movies communities
I think we might consider posting to [email protected] to promote the two others on Lemm.ee. I actually did that 2 months ago to talk about the Dune discussion thread we had on [email protected]: https://lemmy.world/post/12820343?scrollToComments=true
18 upvotes, no comments, and that’s it. I guess a few people went there, but I’m not sure.
Dang, this sucks. I usually post news rather than open discussions so I never noticed. I had my own disagreements with lemm.ee admin back in the day which is why I’m on sopuli.xyz among some other things.
I do wonder if going with movies community on an instance that has more broad one already is too much of a handicap. Something like beehaws’s c/entertainment could work if parked at some instance that’s federated well enough.
Open discussions are always the hardest things to get comments and actual conversations in the comments, except maybe in the AskLemmy community where it works well.
It might be, I just posted on [email protected] (not wanting to get another account banned on [email protected] ), we’ll see how it goes
I don’t think that’s much of an issue to be honest, and even if it is, having a “large” audience able to see it from their local feed should outweigh the con.
Well, that’s ridiculous! I imagine there are similar stories for other communities as well which ends up with a bunch of fragmentation.
We narrowly avoided fragmentation with [email protected] and [email protected]. Some amount of consolidation is definitely a good thing especially since Lemmy’s userbase is still small.
That was another shitshow, probably the worst I’ve ever seen on Lemmy
I agree with you.
I even escalated the “power tripping” of the mod of [email protected] at the time to the admin instance, but their stance was that they didn’t want to interfere with the moderation of communities, as that would be themselves powertripping.
I’m going to post to the LW community to advertise [email protected] at least

Definitely, and in this case we can use the fact that the [email protected] isn’t actually managed that much
