I’m super satisfied with the organic growth of !dailygames@lemmy.zip
We now have more than 500 subscribers and more than 300 weekly users. We are playing and discovering games and share the results just like intended, resulting in > 300 posts and > 2000 comments.
Everyone is super nice and there’s nothing to moderate so far.
That’s great, well done!
I love that community, thanks for running it!
!renpy@discuss.tchncs.de already has 21 subscribers after just one day🎉 I’m currently planning what kind of posts I could create for it to keep it active while the community is still forming. Once it has a few more posts, I will start promoting it in vn-developer discords as well. The people on there are still a bit unsure about the fediverse in general though.
In the long run, I’d like to create more Lemmy alternatives for existing gamedev/vndev-related subreddits that are still missing on here, but I think I’ll take it slow for now
Currently a bit busy, will probably resume posting next week
Real life has picked up a bit lately for me, too. Hoping to devote more time to communities soon.
!chronicillness@lemmy.world is doing really well, especially with memes, over 100 subscribers and lots of posting from others.
!astroturfing@lemmy.world is also doing well but less active and I’m having to deal with some off topic posts.
I suck at it. Just created AMA Requests for people to request other people to do an ask me anything post. I have no clue how to mod or anything or promote it. And I cannot find a book or website on how to do it.
Hey there! First of all, there’s no book or anything that I know of. Second, the way you refer to your community is like this: !amarequests@lemmy.world. Quick question: are you planning to run the AMAs yourself?
Well I have been asking other users and hate to message the ADMINs. But currently yes. I just searched for my comunity and it did not show up. I thought it was a really cool thing we could bring or steal from Reddit and ask like um nurses, doctors, web developers, mods, admins a bunch of different questions because I do not think I am the only one migrating over here that liked the casualama or the just AMA. But on my community all are welcome. But I will try my best to do the best for the users. I posted in new commonites looking for help or for people post or know how to promote. I am not asking to spam it but just get the ball rolling and get other people with knowledge that other people are curious about just to ask a question without fear of being downvoted or whatever.
Well to begin with, I suggest adding a description of your community somewhere in that community, so people know what it’s about and what to expect of it. if only so visitors know whether they should subscribe or not.
I don’t think people mind that you ask for help. Here on !fedigrow@lemm.ee is a great place to ask. You may also want to try !asklemmy@lemmy.world. Just make a post telling people what you have in mind and asking for help or guidance. Ideally you’d also find someone to work along with you. I’d help you myself but I don’t know anything about AMAs and my time’s full up.
Great advice
I just thought that Ask Me Anything community would attract people to lemmy. People can make requests and its up to the mods or anyone to help get them to come over and have a discussion with their user base.
Edit: probably not what you were looking for, but still
Lemmy devs did AMAs a while back on !announcements@lemmy.ml
For some reason I am banned from lemmy.ml and don’t know why. So I can’t comment unless its on another instance or community.
The german-speaking communities are being rebuilt on the new feddit.org (feddit.de is completely broken now). There was a post a couple days ago about bringing missing feddit.de communities to feddit.org.
There’s an interesting thread on asklemmy about the perils of trying to grow engagement: https://lemmy.world/comment/11375736. The topic is: “What would you like to change about Lemmy culture?”
