Things are ideal. I have power over a small group of people who hate me.
Good to see the other post about the centralization fir EV communities, well done @threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works
!renpy@discuss.tchncs.de is slowly growing and currently at 71 subscribers 🎉 I’ve started promoting it a little bit on Mastodon and Bluesky as well
Well done!
Doing ok on !showsandmovies@lemm.ee and !movies@lemm.ee
Trying to help with !stardewvalley@lemm.ee
We celebrated a one year birthday for both !anime@ani.social and !manga@ani.social. Over the past year we have grown from nothing to being (in my biased opinion), the best place on the fediverse to discuss anime and manga. It has been a lot of work, but they are both active enough now that I can do something like go on vacation for a couple days and they will keep going in my absence (including other mods that will manage things).
I made a series of birthday-themed anime clips to celebrate. If you are interested, here they are:
- Will You Come to My Birthday Party? - Gundam Wing (post on ani.social)
- Celebrating a Birthday with Yunyun - Konosuba (post on ani.social)
- Exchanging Birthday Presents - Azumanga Daioh (post on ani.social)
- Surprise! Happy Birthday! Let’s Have Some Cake - Nichijou (post on ani.social)
- Bonus - Backup Cake - Nichijou
Awesome! Themed instances are so important for the Fediverse. I wish you all the best :)
Someone else finally posted at !high_quality_gifs@lemmy.sdf.org , so that was encouraging.
Yesterday was a bit of a dumpster fire for all the communities on walledgarden.xyz with some server balancing that went quite poorly if I’m honest. I’ll make a detailed post about it when I’m less annoyed and more confident things are squared away.
Things are back to normal so far today and !gardengrooves@walledgarden.xyz members are already hard at work sharing some awesome tracks.
!weedtime@walledgarden.xyz has also seen some new activities that have been great to see.
!loweffortmemes@walledgarden.xyz is active in bursts but it’s our little home for shitposting and being goofy.

Sorry to hear
It is what it is. Not my favorite things to deal with but it’s part of the experience. Unfortunately now that I’m expanding the instance it impacts more than just me. Sorry to anyone who’s had to put up with it!
Main hardware community is doing good, with solid growth in subscribers and some organic engagement.
Child communities (Laptops, Gaming Laptops, Monitors) are seeing much slower growth and very weak engagement. But that’s to be expected. It helps that supporting them works in parallel to the main hardware community.
Well done for your main community !
I was originally planning to start the 2nd annual SuperbOwl Owl of the Year event on Election Day, and I’m glad I decided not to do that!
I started it on Saturday instead to give people time to cool off a bit, and one the plus side, I’ve seen a few users I haven’t heard from in a while chime in again, but the initial response has gotten almost 10% downvotes, which I find pretty shocking. It was a big success last year and really raised the sub numbers, and even if you dont care about the “competition” you still get the same pics you would anyway.
A bit disappointed overall due to having dipped about 20 places on the active community list. I feel likes are still trending downward, and comments were feeling lower as well. I’m hoping it’s just election stress taking up everyone’s energy for social media and we’ll bounce back soon. I still try to be a place people can come for a smile, so it’s a bit sad if people aren’t doing that.
I have been posting tons of articles on !vegan@lemmy.vg to grow the community and we rapidly gained 40 new subscribers within 3 days. Then once we have enough people making original content such as writing about their personal experiences then will I slow down on the articles.
I’m trying to make it the largest vegan community on Lemmy so we can have the discussion on a server owned by vegans.
I’ve noticed a lot of your posts recently and have been subscribed since. Glad to see more people pushing out vegan communities.
Well done, and good luck!
Still chugging along with !world@quokk.au, really happy with how much community engagement some posts are getting, it’s starting to open up interesting and complex discussions.
Hi, out of interest i tried looking up quokk.au on lemmyverse.net. Just to get the basic stats of the server, and theres usually a description of the admins intent for the server.
But Quokk.au doesn’t show up, would you know why that is?
It’s showing up for me?
What’s odd is that it doesn’t show the Fediseer guarantor.
Well thats interesting. I just tried it again, and now it shows up.
Well done!
Has the instance admin considered getting another admin as backup?
Not yet that I know of, but I did finally appoint some other mods for the com. So it’s not just reliant on myself.
@Grainne@lemmy.dbzer0.com and @PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat , are you aware you won’t get federated reports from a remote account?
That’s a shame… if it’s set for an upcoming milestone then probably it’s not an urgent problem, but that will undo a lot of the usefulness I can do in the meantime, yes.
Maybe open an alt on quokk.au?
I wouldn’t check it, though. If I were going to go that route, I would just transfer my whole account over. I think just waiting until the fix gets implemented is the way to go.
It is planned for 0.20, so might take a bit of time
Well done!
