    I’m not too frustrated anymore (as I was a month or two ago) about the lack of posters, and have pretty-much just resigned myself these days to people treating EGN+ as my personal blog.

    Maybe in the future, contributors will organically develop and/or I’ll hit upon some method to get more people involved, I don’t know.

    I think part of the problem is that while plenty of people can appreciate the cool art of ‘BD’ and the little tidbits I write up, there’s not many people across the Lemmysphere who are all that knowledgeable themselves about Euro GN’s, and who also want to spend time posting.

    This actually kind of goes back to my disappointment with Reddit users, in that I thought more would jump ship after learning about the many ways they’ve been disrespected and monetised by Reddit mgmt through various means. I.e., with a bigger userbase here, chances of more engagement with niche communities like ours would increase a bit. Ah, well.

    I was so happy with the community at !superbowl@lemmy.world this week!

    We got posts from 5 other people this week, which I think is a record, and they were really good, and some were non-US as well.

    I’ve passed 5000 comments, the majority of which have been within the community, and I’m over 900 posts. I’ve been able to maintain 3 posts a day for a while now.

    Been seeing a number of new commenters as well and got another DM thank you from someone for posting happy stuff for them every day.

    I’ve been depressed and now sick recently, so the community has been a very positive element in my life, so I’m glad everyone is still enjoying what I do.

    Reading other communities, I feel people have been getting a little touchier and crude in some of their language, so I feel it is important to keep positive spaces here.
