I’m tired, boss.
They are petty dead. I’m finding less and less time to post content to keep them active. But I’m trying.
Your football communities should pick up in the next month. I’m a sooner - think I’m going to take this year off.
Take a break! They are not going anywhere, and it’s good to be away for some time
If you have any programming skills, grab the pythorhead library for python (or something similar for a language you prefer), and slap together some code to automate at least some of the parts of regular posting.
And like the other guy said, breaks don’t hurt. I stopped posting to !gameart@sopuli.xyz for a long while and it stopped growing, but once I felt like doing it again, it just resumed chugging along like before.
what community do you mod? Post a link and ill start posting there or advertise in on twitter or something.
A few niche ones.
- !miamihurricanes@fanaticus.social
- !jets@fanaticus.social
- !cfb@fanaticus.social
- !swflorida@lemmy.world
I also mod a couple with Blaze, which do have a good bit of discussion.
Don’t get down; the specific team ones will probably be difficult for a while but my whole existence on the CFB Reddit was really game threads. Off-season was hard as a I normally wouldn’t comment much unless it was my specific team being talked about, and I’d be surprised if we even had every P4 team represented at this point. I’m hoping it turns into an opportunity to get into other team game threads and learn more about them, but I have season tickets to WVU so home games will be hard to keep up with in-thread.
cool saving this message. I appreciate it…no sarcasm.
Thanks!
I know nothing about US football, but maybe it would easier to have a generic community for the whole sport rather than communities for each team?
Yeah, there is a generic college football community and NFL community, too. I mod the college football one.
Quite happy with the influx of new people, so busy with the usual communities (basically everything I posted on the !newcommunities@lemmy.world weekly thread)
Completed an update I’ve been working on for my posting tool for the anime art communities.
It can now suggest things for me to post, specifically prioritising communities in need of activity, preferring artists I like. So my “workflow” is now basically just going yay-or-nay on some posts each day, which then go into the queue. It also takes care of tracking reposts, as well cross-posting to other communities where relevant to promote cross-discovery.
And if I take a break, the posting keeps going until the queue is exhausted (sitting at 400 upcoming posts).
Still posting manually for !gameart@sopuli.xyz, slowly building to a second K of subs.
!dungeonmeshi@ani.social has kept growing past the end of the animes first season airing, and I still have tons to post between now and the second season airing.
I’ve some ideas bouncing around my head for new communities. I’ve been thinking of doing something like the Calvin and Hobbes community, but for the Moomins.
And it looks like !midriffmoe@ani.social will be my second community to hit 1K subs, soon. 🎉

Very interesting!
I absolutely BLEW MY TOP, then apologised profusely on my community.
Which is all good, I suppose, but… my sub still needs another mod.
Hello,
I just went through your post, sorry to hear. I totally relate with getting upset at times when your community is not as successful as you would have thought.
Is there anything we can do to help? Do you think you need another mod?
Ack, sorry for the late reply, Blaze! :S
Is there anything we can do to help?
Appreciate. <3
I think I’ve made the critical adjustment necessary, which is to not push myself anymore, trying to make one post per day. It was very ambitious, and it seems to have grown our subscribers a lot over the months, but it’s just too much for me with the low energy, aching hands & back, etc.Other than that, I think my disillusionment with my community & Lemmy overall is fading a bit. Indeed, one has to keep adjusting one’s expectations across life, mais non?
Do you think you need another mod?
Yes, there are three distinct positions available.
My current mod to me is like an old friend, life preserver, and provider of cool Moebius stuff, but his time is limited for this extra stuff.
I’ve been trying to grow the lemmy.world/c/hardware over past 2 months. The lemmy.ml version of this instance has for more subs, but has relatively low activity considering their size.
I decided to start a new community because I am not ok with the management behind lemmy.ml (I have very good reasons for this).
So far, sub growth has been going ok, but it’s mostly me posting, although comment engagements are decent.
That being said, this is not a niche topic.
There is !linuxhardware@programming.dev who got started recently, maybe you can help there?
Cheers! Will crosspost Linux hardware topics, they do come up somewhat regularly.
