The whole thing tbh, no one bothers posting, including the mods. Things like news being days and days behind. People posting communites on this thread they want to be more active on here, but the subs are empty. Get posting.
Would you consider Earth's moon an amateur satellite or a professional? I mean, she's been doing it for a really long time. But IDK if she does it as a hobby or to pay the bills.
The community from the old place is pretty active, I wish more of them would flow over here.
I think the top post here has a few hundred upvotes, and the average upvote count is ~20, but people gonna go where they feel they will get the most engagement.
Because it's mine and it's empty now as I had to wipe my lemmy server (it never worked OK, super sluggish, the federation was skipping more and more, and the database was over 10GB).
I mainly used the other site for niche microinterests, but because Fedi itself is so niche too, that means the venn diagram doesn't have enough overlap to sustain these communities. And sadly I'm not sure if it ever will.
!asian@lemmy.world -> Discussion for Asian people and issues. Searching Asian is disappointing since it is just a bunch of NSFW stuff that reinforces colonial stereotypes about Asian women serving white people as sex slaves.
!nba@lemmy.world -> Discussion about the National Basketball Association, and basketball in general.
!system76@lemmy.world -> Discussion about the US reseller of Coreboot Linux laptops. Surprising that System76 staff in general still uses Reddit heavily.
!laclippers@lemmy.world -> Los Angeles Clippers, the team that has represented blue collar basketball fans since forever.
!Asian has a grand total of 2 posts, ever, 1 of which was 10 months ago. It's not going to get more active when there isn't even a seed of activity to begin with.
I just went and subscribed to Asian.
Problem is, that it doesn't have any description, no moderators, no rules.
I'm not Asian myself but lived in several Asian countries and I am interested. I don't know if this place is meant for Asian people only or for Asian news or a general interest in Asia or just another place for Asian only fans accounts??
Someone has to take it on and make it a community, a place to hang out and share stuff.
As long as one person is active in the community, it still lives for another day.
