Lol I feel ya. I started a cocktail community and a succulents community and Im trying to get some engagement happening so I’ll comment on every post and comment and I’ve got a bunch of own posts planned to keep things going. It’s actually kind of fun for now, but I’ve never moderated anything before, so I am a tad worried about what will happen if they outgrow my modding abilities. Until then, I’ll just keep dancing around and promoting the communities 🙃
Thank you for your efforts. Since joining lemmy i finally realized what a hard work it is for pioneers like you to build a community. I hope it paid off soon 👍
I am in the same boat… btw… I created a kitty community : D! https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/cats Join my kitty friend if you would like!!
Me over at comedyheaven lol
Keep up the grind man
This is how it starts. These are the early days
Literally me, I’ve been asking questions to get people talking and I’ve also been making content for people to look at and I’ve been commenting all over the place just so i can have discussion
whats your community?
sidenote: I thought I would be able to easily tell by clicking people’s profiles, but apparently not all fediverse sites show the places you mod on your profile? the mysteries of the fediverse continue for me
Same boat! Except mine is nsfw 🤨 ([email protected])
Someone had to do it. I hope people make the other ones I miss, or I might have to do it myself
Hey I remember that community! I came across it the other day when I was doing ‐
… research.
I’ll join for

i haven’t and don’t intend to create a community bc i crumble under any tiny level of responsibility but i’ve been commenting on any post i have something to say on, and up/downvoting every post i see depending on the content. i’ve killed hours at work so far lol
🤣 same
My zillowgonewild clone has a couple hundred subscribers, but so far its been me and like 2 other people posting anything. It’ll happen eventually, though.
I have no idea what actually moderating a community is like, so the limited activity is probably a blessing that I’m too naive to appreciate rn.
your WHATNOW clone? You’ve got another lurker now =)
Oh no, we have become like bots
It sucks that we have to be like bots. But you know what works? Being like a bot.
The only way to build what we want to build is to roll up our sleeves and get to it.
It’s fine by me. “Fake it till you make it” is an actual strategy, unless you are dealing with money
