Reddit was awesome.

Itā€™s sad what became of it. Jumped ships that took me to Lemmy-kbin Land!I love games, gamification and chat roleplaying, socializing with people, volunteering, different lists and difficult topics!

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

[META] Creating a new community is easy, but to get people on board, you need to create some content.

If you create a community, please try and populate it with content. I see a lot of new communities with 0-1 posts from the mod. Thatā€™s not nearly enough to get people engaged - users are going to see that itā€™s a ghost town and leave....

  • If I created a community, would I become itā€™s (lone) moderator automatically?
  • What consequences, requirements and things would I need to keep in mind as a moderator?
  • Is it advisable to copy-paste content from Reddit to kickstart new communities (given that the link source to the original content was added as well when making new posts)?

Lol wut?
Are you implying that the movie is terrible?

Obviously because I enjoy the movie and because I want to share my annual watching ritual with her šŸ˜‚

.

I donā€™t like or dislike those scenes any more or less than the rest of the movie. When concerning the movieā€™s plot - the torture you mentioned has a function that builds the character further in a certain direction. It also determines what will happen next. Just like what any other scene would do.

I also point out just in case that I donā€™t approve torture.

What doesnā€™t work out in the movie?

Who is your favorite character?

@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

Hmm. Depends probably on do you leave the knives out, have paper/cardboard/plastic knives or real fighter knives with the costume!

An easier Halloween costume is Ghostface. No trousers and a shirt/jacket but a robe.
My friend drew the outline of the knife he uses in the movie in cardboard and I added many layers, getting a nice, thicker cardboard knife!

Easy.
Poop flavored chocolate.

Chances are, it would be more healthy (unless deliberately using poop itself as an ingredient).

I love robots and find many of them cute! And I donā€™t mind at all them making them cute!

Always when one of those food carrier bots of ours around here gets close by, I pet them while they pass me šŸ’“ They just are tooo cute!

@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

Oh they continued the comic?! Awww yisss! šŸ’“

I do assume the day comes when we need to make the choiceā€¦but I hope I can give many more hugs to dem bots before that day comes!

Comfort zone is easy. You donā€™t need to think as much and it may be a stress-free area.

Outside the comfort zone is where you can learn new things of yourself. What you like, dislike, think about the world and things inside it. It might be stressful and scary there.

Too far outside the comfort zone may result in burnout or mental problems.

  • If you get a million views in YouTube, can you gain a small income through that?
  • Can you partner up with other names/creators to raise awareness/visibility to your own name/work?
  • Sometimes you need to keep standing your ground. Explain how it is and if they donā€™t believe you, ignore them.
  • Do you wish to get money? Is this a hobby?

.

I think it depends how a post you create is doing. What the community you choose is, what is its activity, what kind is your post, what materials you use (text, images etc)ā€¦
To my knowledge (of one month), itā€™s easier to get any sort of engagement (being it likes or comments) from one cute or sad comic image than from sincere, deeper discussion of whatever topic.
We are fighting against peopleā€™s time. How should they use it?
And then again - we use these services for different purposes. Some of us jump in for a quick lolz off pictures, while others delve for hours in all sorts of peculiar discussions.

(Iā€™m not so much of a content creator - at least when it comes to something else than text. But I try to do my part in all sorts of communities that interest me to kick some engagement around this place šŸ’“
Iā€™d like to see this thing taking off and getting at least some of the activity what Reddit gets)

I think we should cherish commenting too.

Creating posts is not the only way of making engagement. Even though itā€™s better than having a community of 0 posts, I still would be sad to look at a community that has one new post daily but doensā€™t get any votes or comments.
Within time not getting engagement can become demoralizing to the content creator. Why bother if you donā€™t get anything in return? (Been there, felt that - and in many occasions.)

Damaskox,
@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

What do you mean? Negative or constructive criticism? Negative votes?

Hardship is a part of life. That goes to criticism as well.
I am willing to take risks of bad feels for the sake of trying to make places more active. Luckily Iā€™ve been doing much better than what I first anticipated!
No pain, no gain.

ā€œI want to train your child to become the ULTIMATE CONTENT CREATORRRā€

Damaskox,
@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

Depends also on the attitude, I think.

I havenā€™t met many people in this ā€œthey suckā€-mold of yours. The contrary howeverā€¦

Damaskox,
@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

Iā€™d just ignore such folks. Plus I have yet to meet those folks - even after 62 posts I have done!

I donā€™t go for Internet points only. That also fuels me to trying coming up with something of quality, but itā€™s also the good discussions and possibly providing something interesting to folks to read/look at and to make them even think about stuff that gets me going šŸ˜„ Kicking in some extra activity in these communities!
But the same can be achieved with comments - youā€™re right with that one.

Making a post can require more thinking and effort, but I wouldnā€™t be surprised if I have spent more effort on a comment than on making a post!
The feel and interaction is different with a post and a comment. A post can wake up all sorts of commenting and a post is ā€œmore visibleā€ to people who sees it as they scroll away. Comments of course also provide activity within a post/community, may generally be less visible to more people (you have to click a post open to see comments) and they can also gain all the off-topic commentary on them - just like in a post.

Not saying that commenting is worse than creating a whole post. Both have their reasons to exist and their places to be used.

Reminds me of one video. I recall his friends made a prank. The dude woke up from drinking too much in a hospital room where the nurse said that the had been comatose for many years.
To be clear, this wasnā€™t the case - it was just a prank.

ā€¦but I bet experiencing that would put some people to think.

I love wasting spending lots of time on the computer.

Iā€™m friends with Beeminder.
I started at one minute less per day. At the moment I get one day in the countdown when Iā€™m off the machine for 165 minutes. I raise the value when I feel it - slowly and steadily.

The ogre walks to the wizard
The ogre BONKS with his club, dropping the wizard unconscious
The ogre carries the wizard to a barrel of piss
The ogre drops the unconscious wizard in the barrel
The party leaves

Iā€™m not sure should I be happy or sad about this

I donā€™t do anything else than laundry gauntlet.
I once washed one piece of cloth on its own but it felt like a huuuge waste!

Nowadays I take my chances. But I must say that my clothing doesnā€™t seem to take that much damage (obviously theyā€™d live longer otherwise but I donā€™t want to fill a whole machine worth of water for one piece of clothing, thatā€™s nuts!).
