Thanks for the heads up.

Alright. I see you managed to post to lemmy with it and the comments show up on your blog, nice.

needs more active users ☞ [email protected]

Really like that one. Yeah there are more communities that i really like but they hardly have any activity:

[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

Nature is often odd & that’s great:

[email protected]

Also [email protected]

[email protected]

I like [email protected] way better, much healthier community.

Communities where there is an actual community interested in a topic and people are posting mostly OC.

I think [email protected] is my favorite community. It is positive, mostly OC, somewhat active and about a topic i am also interested in.

That user still made this post right here, and also they made up the fact that Lemmy is gaining in popularity.

as they are more prone to censorship

More prone than who? ml?

Pretty sure i have seen you say this explicitly at some point, but i’ll just take these easy to find snippets from 6 days ago, where you talk about what you’re up to outside of hexbear, although tbf you were talking about slrpnk users here:

I’ve spoken with a few users, carefully pointing out how by being anti-Marxist but not also being anti-liberal, and further having no links to theory of any sort beyond aesthetic choices, opens them up to opportunism. They seemed to vaguely accept it, hope it can get through to them.

I am trying to convince individual users when the opportunity arises.

You’re doing great! Also with your “reasonable nice guy” facade!

The hexbear cowbee. But let me rephrase. Are you not engaging in world communities to act as a missionary among the non believers?

Are you not using this alt account to act as a missionary among the non believers?

Thank you, I guess I had a couple upvotes too but I was ratio’d pretty hard, for a small generally positive low traffic community I had like 20 down votes or something, people really did not like this. So I thought if it’s a real serious community about growing vegetables, it’s not for me, I don’t do that, I just do lighthearted wild flowers and bird stuff.

Awesome that you got these doves around and the owl! I have a kestrel cruising around my yard too. The pigeons make themselves all slim and starved looking when they hear it 😆 It’s tough out there for the birds, including the kestrel.

So that should be a “no” really :)

For me it’s a no, but looking at my subscribed communities, i don’t have all that many ml communities in there tbh.

The ones that i like best and that don’t have a better alternative elsewhere are [email protected] and [email protected] and i guess the ones about lemmy itself and jerboa.

The way they seem to be banning people is worrying to me, the ml users i generally don’t have a problem with, but i’m avoiding politics.

That is just the reality on lemmy for people interested in niche topics. If i see a community where different users posts something once a month and there are even replies, that is more appealing to me than scrolling through three pages of content posted by the same person.

[email protected]

Yeah I see that differently. To me these forced posts for the sake of posting something, that are all being created by the same people are not necessarily that appealing to me, they don’t give me the impression that there is an actual community interested in the topic, you know? It’s kinda obvious that it’s really more “pretend active”.

While the plantid one, it seems like there is a community there, they just don’t post much, because there just aren’t that many people on Lemmy that have plantid questions. The community actually has a purpose and direction, it is active if activated and it gives good answers.

Right, forgot about that. Sadly I feel that this is a little bit too strict for Lemmy niche topics. To me that community is at least healthy looking, it has regular posts created by different users, and all get replies by different users. But it is quite low traffic, sure.

[email protected]

Maybe [email protected] fits into this as well.

Going to give [email protected] a shoutout I guess, even though those bastards hated my (shit)post about raising pigeons on my balcony, that made me delete the post and unsubscribe from the community, haha.

I kinda want to give it another try. There was once a blogpost posted here (i think) about basically “how to have fun on mastodon”, something like that, but i can not find it anymore. Anybody remember this and got a link?
