We will grow, eventually. Just like SC be eventually come out of Alpha :D
Some went to https://squabbles.io/s/StarCitizen but really I think this is the most visible. Main problem is that most people from r/starcitizen have other places to go. There are multiple discords and forums plus spectrum. Factor in that there is no real SC news on mondays so most people wont even be checking in until later in the week (when the blackout will be over).
I think it will grow over the next few weeks though. The mobile cutoff is on the 30th. So even after the blackout ends there will be a few weeks before a lot of people even notice something is going on and go looking.
We just need to be proactive with posting stuff here even if it's reposting older content like the ship size comparisons. Anything to get people talking, active and invested.
Is squabbles a decentralised network or just another centralised website just waiting to abuse users?
Centralized.
This instance seemed like the most populated one when I went looking so this is where I'm subbed
I have a feeling that this community is dead?
I've made a subscription request (apparently that's a thing on some communities? no idea why that'd be required here though) to this community, and it's still pending after a while. I think it's dependant on the mod being active to accept the subscription requests.
edit: If anyone makes another community, please do post about it here, though. I don't really have the bandwidth to moderate an SC community, but maybe someone out there will want to pick up the slack.
What do you mean by a subscription request?
All I had to do was click the "Subscribe" button, unless something has changed?
Were you using the app to subscribe? I noticed last night that the ones I made from the app got stuck in pending and when i got on the browser it worked. I forgot to try this community however.
I'm using a browser to subscribe. Just tried resubscribing, and it's still giving me the same "subscribe pending" notification. Attaching a screenshot of the thing to this post.
It took a few hours for my Subscribe Pending to change. Just make sure your email is verified.
Just try again. There's no approval as far as I'm aware the endpoint probably just timed out.
I've tried resubscribing to this community several times and it keeps giving me the same "subscribe pending" message. See my other post in this thread for a screenshot. Haven't had problems like that when subscribing to any other community.
That happens sometimes with some communities from external servers. You are subscribed. You should see posts in your feed.
After looking around a bit, it looks like I'm not the only one having this problem on lemmy.ml (and probably other) communities. You're probably right that it's just a visual thing.
Still reading as pending for me, but I guess I'll see if it's actually subscribed when/if posting here picks up and has a theoretical chance to start showing up on my front page.
Edit: Just saw a post from here on my front page, so I guess I am subscribed despite apparently still being in a pending state.
lemmy.ml is way overloaded. That is why federation is important and not to centralize on a single instance, spread the load out over multiple networks. The fact that you are on a different server is good, but lemmy.ml still has to process your subscription.
says a lemmy.ml user that still has to move out
