Trying to build critical mass for small communities
Trying to build critical mass for small communities
Hi, I'm focusing on generating content for a few communities that I feel can be successful and have less content than I expected:
- !cassettefuturism@lemm.ee: a genre of retrofuturism based on the 70's and 80's (more info)
- !awwnverts@lemmy.world: cute invertebrates
- !weirdwheels@lemmy.world: weird vehicles (with wheels)
- !comicstrips@lemmy.world: self-explanatory
EDIT: I did not create any of those communities
I would encourage anyone to participate if you like those topics.
Do you know any other niche-but-not-too-niche communities in which we could focus efforts?
Please, don't post very long lists, I'm already subscribed to almost 300 communities and the idea is to focus on a few ones.
Thanks!
EDIT: Added descriptions for each community.
You're viewing a single thread.
Isn't !comicstrips@lemmy.world doing pretty good? I see it reaching top of All quite often
Indeed, that's one of the most promising ones... and it still only has 2 or 3 posts a day :/.
I mean, people have lives too I guess :)
I didn't mean that I expect the same user to be posting all day. If different users send 1 post each, they still should have a lot of time for other things :)
For sure, but I am at 500 posts on my main account, and to be honest posting so much content can sometimes be a bit tiring. I'm trying to get other people on my community to do it too but it's not that easy.

Agree. What I'm doing (in case it helps) is, instead of going for quantity, go for quality and try to focus the efforts on a few communities that interest me. That way I am posting about things I really like in just a few places and it doesn't become a chore.

Indeed, it's HARD. This is one of the reasons I haven't created a community yet, it seems too much effort-VS-results-ratio. I know I'm taking the easy path because I'm not so invested in any specific community. So thanks to all of you who create and moderate all the communities.
Definitely!
