MODERATORS
 

Lets bring some positivity to people you might see around a lot and generally praise them for making good contributions to the platforms growth!

I really enjoy seeing @Blaze@sopuli.xyz around a lot and @ShittyKopper@lemmy.blahaj.zone, they aren't the only ones I appreciate but they are the first that come to mind. I also appreciate @MicroWave@lemmy.world and their news posts a lot. I like being kept in the loop and the articles they curate seem to always be really high quality.

Great post, and thank you for noticing me! (sopuli.xyz used to me my main account, but now I use this one, heads up to the instance admin, he's doing a great job!)

I really like @freamon@endlesstalk.org 's work on !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl

I hadn't noticed @MicroWave@lemmy.world in a while, but I just noticed that it's because I blocked most of the news communities, and that he's mostly active there. I used to read his Fediverse growth posts.

@simple@lemm.ee makes nice posts too.

@rikudou@lemmings.world , especially for their work on !schedule@lemmings.world

I'm limiting myself to posters, but I would say that all the instance admins I've seen are very nice people overall. Thank you a lot guys, without you none of this would exist!

fraemons trending communities bot is so freaking awesome, I pretty much check that comm every single day now

Same here, this thing is a light in the infinity of the lemmyverse ha ha

Thanks for this!

I subbed yesterday and just had a browse, I'm glad that my posting on my somewhat niche communities does actually do something for visibility

edit just found this strange place via Trending Communities oddlyspecificplaylists@sh.itjust.works

[–] MicroWave@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

MicroWave here. Yeah, I gradually switched over to posting news when lemmy.world reached 100k users. I remember that was one of the ways reddit and digg grew in their infancy, so I wanted to try to replicate that.

Hey, thanks for the shout-out! Happy to entertain! pugjesus@kbin.social is my main, but Kbin has been giving me trouble the past few days so I've been posting from my lemmy.world account, lol

I think @MicroWave@MicroWave@lemmy.world and @YoBuckStopsHere@YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world are basically the only reasons c/Politics got off the ground. Really appreciate their work.

[–] MicroWave@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Wow, thanks for the recognition, TurboDiesel@lemmy.world!

I have to say, that @OberonSwanson@sh.it just.works fellow, seems like a really swell guy!

I think @Crul@lemm.ee is doing great work too - they've dedicated themselves to regularly posting quality stuff to a set of small-but-interesting communities

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 year ago

Very true! @Crul@lemm.ee for people interested

[–] Crul@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

I noticed them as well they are a regular poster in my small community.

[–] MxRemy@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd say @Joph@programming.dev for regularly posting in the very small Haxe community. Thank you Joph!
