Good meme

!casualconversation@lemm.ee

Well said

Would you be willing to do so? The idea about having a general community is to make it easier for potential posters to contribute. As of now, nobody is posting to any of those communities, real time or turn based

Thank you for your work!

Nice

Discussion about the same article a few days ago: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/41958841

First time I hear about it!

!buyeuropean@feddit.uk is still very active. !BuyFromEU@europe.pub still consists mostly of reposts without any comments.

There are definitely around 50 usernames I see in a lot of communities, or sometimes just in one. Feels nice to feel like talking to real humans compared to bots.

Not building it, but !photography@fedia.io is very nice as it includes Mastodon/Sharkey posts using linked hashtags

Tried to post a few cards on !map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz. Good content isn’t that easy to find, /r/MapPorn is very low quality nowadays

Business as usual on the following manual hobbies communities

• !lego@lemm.ee
• !mechanical_keyboards@programming.dev

!ask@lemm.ee still getting regular activity

In parallel, I resumed posting on !casualconversation@lemm.ee, it’s nice to just have a place to talk about chill stuff

Trying to keep !goodnewseveryone@sh.itjust.works active

Hello,

No worries!

Reviving suggest that you will try to make the community more active. Usually that requires to post on it regularly, and ideally to find a few other people to do so with you. That can also involve discussing where to host the new community, as we are doing in the current thread.

You can see those two posts where people discussed where to host a privacy community

Regarding the instance, as someone suggested, !strategygames@sopuli.xyz is not on LW and already exists, so you can leverage on that. @QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz is also a very reactive admin, and the instance has a very good track record.

Then the next step is to at least post to the other strategy community to make people aware that you are reviving another community. The extra step is to try to get moderation of those (usually mods are inactive, and admins are happy to grant people requesting it mod rights. Then you can ask each community if they would be okay to lock their inactive community and redirect to the community you are trying to revive. This whole step can take a while, so don’t worry too much about it, it’s not critical, especially if no other community is active on your topic.

Coming back to the general vs niche community discussion

Aren’t those games close enough that a common community could be used at first?

Take care!

Very cool

“New Comments” helps with that
