Pleased that [email protected] gained what looks like another active participant :)
Lots of downvotes on a recent post on [email protected] that regular commenters engaged with happily, so I’m wondering if it’s just people seeing it on local and disliking it as typical mainstream social media fodder, or if it’s subscribers who don’t comment not liking it, or both. Remember all those “which pill would you take” and then there’s a couple different-color pills giving you different superpowers? It was something like that, but on-topic for otome games. Kind of bewildered by that.
Have looked at other Fedi instances including Mbin for backups, didn’t find one that was just centered on games. Guess it’ll probably be lemmy.zip.
As somebody that mods other communities on ani.social, lemmy has a sizeable portion of its userbase that browses by All rather than by Subscribed. Lemmy also has a sizeable portion of users that are extremely hostile to anything anime or anime-adjacent (just see the lemmy.ml defederation drama from last year for example). So, random downvotes on active posts happen a lot since each new comment pushes that post to the top of the feed when sorted by Active. The important part is the engagement from your community members. One person commenting is worth >100 random up/down votes for keeping a community going.
