not enough of my niche interests from reddit moved here. also the sports communities are a little bit like ghost towns
It's pretty much a symptom of having a small userbase. The most niche thing that can maintain activity isn't very niche yet. I hope and expect it will improve over time, and in the meanwhile I'd like to see the attitude to Reddit repost bots to soften.
Yeah same, the only solution is for you yourself to post in those niche communities more often, making them more active and thus more attractive for other users.
Welcome to my world! I try to post sports I watch on [email protected] as much possible as I can. Same goes for [email protected] and for [email protected]. Lately is more politics and memes.
Beehaw being defederated from LW and SJW prevents around 30% of the people on the platform of seeing that community. Have you considered maybe posting to a community on an instance that is more accessible?
I didn't even know that they were defederated, I will thanks for the info!!
Happy to help, let me know once you settle for a community, I can help try to post there too!
I see [email protected] this [email protected] and this [email protected] The first one looks active, we can post news there.
Thank you for the list!
For the first one, the main mod and poster there seems quite active on [email protected] https://thelemmy.club/u/[email protected]
Their modlog https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/modlog?userId=157506
I'm not the biggest fan of feddit.org since https://feddit.org/post/12529640 and https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/44422088
https://lemmy.org/ seems to be a one-admin thing, they wanted to sell the domain name for 20k https://lemmy.org/post/90035
Seems like we might have to start a new community x)
Look I get what you trying to say, but we need to pick one, and there are not a lot of communities to do that(without making a new one). check this one [email protected] but I believe the first one was ok.
It's just a community in the end, we should leave politics aside on this IMO.
I had a look at their alt, seems a bit concerning too: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/modlog?userId=14068923
Trans athletes in sports are still a regularly discussed topic, it might be better to try to find someone who doesn't have "transphobe" in their modlog (https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/modlog?userId=157506)
How about we start one on lemmy.ca? Your account is there, and I have an alt there too, so we could both mod from local accounts.
Or we create a post on [email protected] to see if other people would like to help us too
Pleasantly surprised to see a football community that is actually about the game where you kick a ball with your foot.
