What is hard too, is if all the posts to get things started are the mods or creator, the same ghost town might occur. It’s hard to tell or know what will be interesting to get people talking so to speak. Some should also be put on the subscribers as well who also have an interest. It’s a double edge sword sometimes.
I only have so many interesting things to say. I don't really want to post for the sake of generating content, so making 5-10 posts right off the bat seems like the wrong way to go about it. I think it'd be better to make one post a day or one every other day or so that anyone who comes in can see that it's recently active.
I’m trying to get into the habit of posting everyday, I fell out of it on reddit because it grew so big and would often go nowhere.
Mods rejecting posts willy-nilly, users who sit on /new thinking they can be the gatekeeper, shadowbanning of a post without being informed. It’s going to take some time to get used to posting more.
Thanks for providing the “easy” version of the link that lets me subscribe without having to paste it into my instance search field! It’s super convenient.
i had to unsubscribe from !technews@radiation.party because it is borderline spam.
i am not talking about quality of the posts, lot of these links are quite interesting, but there is so many of them that it just took over my feed and i want to see something else occasionally :D
there should be a feature to subscribe to community but exclude it from feed, or somehow limit it to max x posts per y time or something…
I agree with this suggestion. Without the URL, I’m kind of lost as to which instance I’m actually searching.
Maybe a “search all” feature to seach all instances simultaneously? Although, I’m pretty sure that’s near impossible with how the fediverse works. Still would be cool.
thats what this tool does, it lets you search all instances, but the great thing is it lets you choose what instance you are in so that the links open in your instance, instead of having to copy and paste into the search bar like with other search tools ive seen
I like the idea behind the community but it is a terrible name. Without reading an explanation, most people would assume it was some toxic, misogynistic group. I only know what it refers to because I bothered reading some of the comments here.
I’m sure there are much better names, such as Positive Masculinity for example.
