Hmm! I don't know.
So... how would you describe the "Orb" stuff, if you don't mind my asking?
I think that was a rather good day for Sabina.
Dude (hehe, sorry), you seem so young and smart (which you are of course), whilst I'm a tired, middle-aged man.
In regards to overall growth of Lemmy, I look at us as the instances being the mom and pop shops vs the commercial conglomerates of Reddit and Facebook. I don’t want or need to be that big to feel successful. I’m close to getting 3k subs, and that’s more people than I ever imagined to have listening to me. We don’t need to be all things to all people. We can coexist with other platforms.
Excellent points, thank you for that. <3
perhaps a lot of Fediverse hobby communities have skilled people and beginners are perhaps too scared to post because they don’t see anyone else just starting
This is a GREAT point IMO, and I think it's good to never to forget it. Even as smashingly common as it is.
Because ultimately, we're going to make the Fediverse work because we pay attention to details like this, whereas Reddit is just sort of organised mechanisms at this point, mais non?

P.S. And yes-- I doubt we're ever going to come close to Reddit (or other pop-mediums) in terms of total userbase and/or pop-engagement, but to me, folks who make sites like this work are preserving a sort of 'last chance for humanity to stave off corporate ownership.' Our last chance to deliver a nice little FUCK YOU to late-stage capitalism, if you like.
Sorry for my language, mateys.
Ooh! I made a page for you on the sub. (can you see it?)
But... why is it even a QUESTION of extending some decency and goodwill, in such case? Illegal immigrants is NOT a real issue in the USA. In fact, it's a critical shortage.
Sorry, I'm a bit pissed-off. @anon6789@lemmy.world
For anything bad we can find, there’s an opposite story to tell about those who are trying to make it better. Rather than telling the stories about the villains, let us tell stories about the heroes more.
Hmm, I like your kindly, rather philosophical nature, too!
Rather than telling the stories about the villains, let us tell stories about the heroes more.
Oh, settle down there... We're all heroes & villains at the end of the day, didn't you get that memo?
The comics or the animations, if you don't mind my asking?
Right on, A6789.
In fact I recall reading you stating the body of such not too long ago, and I thought it very smart, pragmatic, and kind. Okay, let's see:
I’ve gotten lucky to get a few regular commentors by this point. So far we get semi-regular & random folks, which is cool of course, but regulars would be nice, you know?
I mean, it would be nice to share more of where we're each coming from, keep in mind our likes & dislikes, and do little 'tip of the caps' to them. I'd like that, if possible.
Gotta give that positive reinforcement.
I love that whole technique, and I salute your approach, but at the same time, Euro GN's border (or encompass) serious, heavy themes & content, and I'm afraid it would falter on the edge of being pedantic if I was to go too far in that direction.
Altho for the record, in terms of my screwups, there's me BLOWING MY TOP in the comments:

Be open, meet people from other communities, talk to them, participate in their communities to give them some comments to attract others, and that’s all we can do.
Good points!
Altho A6789-- mate, you know you're allowed to change your public-facing username whilst keeping your core name for login purposes, etc.
I'm just being silly here, but whadya think, whadya think:

- Hooter Howdy
- Owlicious (Delicious)

Hola, Rolando!
So-- I think this why any healthy community needs casual posters. I mean, it's all very well for the founders, mods & awesome posters like @anon6789@lemmy.world at c/SuperbOwl to post excellent content on a regular basis, but we also need people coming from the zen / beginner's side of things to post topics like 1) "Help me remember this media?," 2) "What is your opinion on X?," 3) "I need help with this issue," 4) "Hey look, here's my latest gear / shelfie / etc!"
Yes, and I'm largely stating the obvious, but how do we get there? One idea would be for the 'content creators' to turn around and post from the other direction (as above). I've actually had decent luck with that in the past, when the community was much smaller, but for whatever reason I stopped doing that. The point of course is to set an example for others to follow, but also to put our members in the position to help out the show-runners, so to speak. Let them have a turn to be the 'experts.'
Anyway, that's one idea.

Sorry to bombard you with replies matey, but I forgot to mention that my dad was an MD (medical doctor), so I have a certain fond connection with the snake-staff. It reminds me of him, a lot!
Oh yeah, it's always good to feel the neeiiiighhh!
I'm still your boss, though, see. SEE:
