[email protected] got more activity last week, which is really cool!

[email protected] had someone post a question and immidiately got plenty of answers. Awesome to see that.

What I struggle a bit with is the consistent 2 downvotes and sometimes more on seemingly completely innocent posts? Because when a community is small this affects visibility in my understanding? The first votes are often the two downvotes.

I had a theory that some app "hides" posts on downvote and guessed that people are scrolling "all" and downvoting as they go through the posts.

You can use tesseract.dubvee.org/ to view downvotes. If someone downvotes all of your content without commenting, I would just ban them

Thanks Blaze, I remember that votes are not actually anonymous in threadiverse but was too lazy to figure out a way to check them. I'll check out tesseract and try to figure out whether these are random downvotes or is someone just being a dick.

I honestly don't care about downvotes but it does seem to affect visibility in some sorted feeds like "Hot" no?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

It does, indeed. Not sure about the calculation, but it has an impact

How does this work?! I tried it but didn't see names. Is this a mod only feature?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If you look at a post of a community you mod, there's a small shield icon that allows you to see votes

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh boo, now I can't get vengeance. I got no mod powers.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh, I thought you had 😄

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Nah, I just want power with no responsibility.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

[email protected] is quite a success, it's probably going to be my main focus for this week

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

[email protected] was great yesterday. Lots of content from other posters. Everyone had a good time and nobody complaining about the very light US sport theme this year as opposed to last year. Love to see it.

Got another comment from someone that just checks in to Lemmy periodically and they said they were happy to see the community still doing so well and they're glad it's here to be a positive space during unpleasant times. I always like hearing what I do is having a positive impact.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That community is killing it! Always a bright spot ij my day!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Always happy to hear it!

Thanks for the encouragement!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

On that topic, I'm going to stop posting the pokemon art to [email protected], and consolidate it with [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

[email protected], [email protected], [email protected] are doing well.

https://lemmy.world/c/horrorlit, [email protected] and [email protected] are a little niche but not awful.

[email protected] is so so.

Anyone interested to become a moderator is more than welcome.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Feel free to promote them all on [email protected] ! Maybe something like "Horror communities"?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Love the cosmic horror one — thanks for that!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

[email protected] and [email protected] still good.

[email protected] is now basically just one person posting.

I've requested [email protected] to the lemm.ee admin, let's see how it goes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Fragmentation kills the fediverse.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

I am well aware, that's why I'm trying to consolidate all the movies discussions on one community.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Can you give a quick rundown of what all the various movie/tv communities are for? I'd like to post stuff there, but I feel so lost as there's movies, animation, the anime communities, movies and tv, individual show communities, etc. It feels overwhelming where the best place to post something is. Many times I've just watched something and say, hey I Just watched X, this is what I thought. Have you seen it too and what did you think?

Most of the posts on many of the communities look like industry news, and the names are all very similar I don't remember which ones I've looked at or not.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Of course! The main ones are

For the other ones

  • [email protected] is kept alive by one person that really doesn't want to switch to the lemm.ee version
  • [email protected] has a powertripping mod. I requested the community to the lemm.ee admin this week to lock it down (the mod hasn't been active for a few weeks now).

There are specific shows communities too, they are listed on the pinned post of [email protected]

Edit: and then there is [email protected], for animation. But you can post those on [email protected] as well, it's fine.

Thank you kindly!

Feel free to promote the community itself on [email protected] !

[–] kionite231 4 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks, I will make a post there!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

To be nicely thematic, shouldn't there be one schizophrenia comm per instance?

[–] kionite231 4 points 3 weeks ago

I made the community on my home instance but feel free to make a new one on your instance too!
