How are you doing with your communities?

27 comments

I'm having issues where people on All downvote the shit out of our posts, but subscribers upvote. So everything has negative votes, but my subscribers aren't getting the community they want. Anyone else see this or have ideas?
- If people downvote all content without contributing at all (and I insist all content, not just one or two downvotes), I would consider banning them.
  If they comment or upvote, that's a different story.
  
  Yeah I have, it's just a lot of banning - and I know I have a very very niche thing, I just wish there was a way to prevent voting unless you explicitely join the community
  
  What is the procedure for banning a user if their only interactions with a community are downvotes, and they never post or comment? The default Lemmy interface doesn't make this easy...

Finally returning after a 3 Week hiatus
- Good luck!

Mine is doing surprisingly well and I still don't fully believe it. It's simply pics that make you think of the person you care about most, like a best friend or partner.
600 MAU, 260 subscribers, and plenty of upvotes. I guess people love being sappy 😆. I wasn't expecting much activity to be honest. Not many people post their own images, but that's alright by me.
Honestly, I really just made the community for the person I started falling in love with. (We're talking about starting a serious relationship soon 😊). I haven't shared the community with them yet, but I plan to soon. Now that it's filled up with posts, I want to write them a long, sappy letter and share all the posts.

- Looks amazing, happy for you! Have you ever promoted your community on !newcommunities@lemmy.world ?

I make threads to explore floaty things and their fun interactions, but my subscribers only like them if there are cute anime girls. Such is life. I'm trying to support smaller communities more.
- You're talking about !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io right?

- Same.
  I need a bot to push out the news for my community, but idk how to make, implement, or maintain a Lemmy news bot. Idk even know where to start. GitHub is confusing.
  
  Does your university has a subreddit? Just copy pasting news from there every week would help.
  Also create regular "Discussion thread" like once a week
- !spiders@lemmy.world for people curious
  
  Good thing, otherwise I'd have to get out the ~~flamethrower~~ white phosphorus.
