I was happy to have one post really blow up this week. Got about 3x normal upvotes, and I was getting conversation well into the next day, which never happens. Had another do pretty well with maybe 50% more votes than normal.
Neither one was something I expected to be big, both were simple pictures posts with no significant commentary, but they really seemed to grab attention. The All feed felt a bit lacking this week to me, I'm assuming with Labor Day weekend people were getting in those last summer vacations, so maybe that explains a bit more exposure for the posts?
Other than that, the whole cat food mod drama was really something. I deleted a few replies before posting. I didn't want to get drug into that mess. I think the World crew dealt with it mostly ok, but I'm not totally thrilled with some of their decisions. Their call though.
!idiotsincars@lemmy.world was always a slower sub on Reddit, but I've yet to find a good way to directly link to mp4s without shelling out $50 a month or relying on community supported sites. Even then I just found out Inline videos aren't supported on all instances (lemmy.world | it works on lemm.ee), and even still, not every app is doing in-app playback.
Posts do get decent traction, but I don't think we're going anywhere until this video thing gets sorted out.
I have seen someone use https://toobnix.org for videos, which is in the Fediverse.
Part of me wants to upload videos to Fediverse places and link there, part of me wants to stick them on YouTube and link to that because I feel bad using Fediverse resources, all the space my video takes up, but have no guilt using up YouTube's resources.
Definitely necessary for this kind of subs I'm afraid
Gonna get back to the Daily posting on my very own echo chambers! Also known as !catposting@lemmy.blahaj.zone !trams_trolleys_streetcars@lemmy.blahaj.zone !oldtimers_youngtimers@lemmy.blahaj.zone and !touch_fluffy_tail@ani.social
Those aren't echo chambers, they get a decent amount of up votes. I appreciate them and others do too. They just aren't something that generates a lot of discussion.
These are awesome. Is imgur what you're going to for posting images?
Ooh, I should get a good photo of my bike for !oldtimers_youngtimers@lemmy.blahaj.zone. It's a hand-me-down from my dad's old racing days and the bike's older than I am, and it was my faithful day-to-day commuting bike until I realised the bottom bracket was busted.
Besides this, curious to see a lot of drama related communities lately
There are definitely a few things to follow there
Really wish people used !hobbydrama@lemmy.world, from a quick look the three you put seem to be about specifically Fediverse drama
Things are going pretty good on !truecomics@midwest.social and !fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee.
!casualconversation@lemm.ee is getting some posts by other people, that's nice
Still working on !showsandmovies@lemm.ee and !movies@lemm.ee
