Comment on Trying to build critical mass for small communities

  Note that I said: “you look a bit more organized than small subs”, and that’s not a very high bar, hehe :P.

  oi! and i thought you were nice

  More seriously, I thought you were related to reddit’s Imaginary Network, which is huge and with some big power-users.

  nope, not at all. they’re just the only subs i still follow by rss, and no-one else was making them here so i took up that mantle. and now i have 7 imaginary communities… and there are at least 2 more that i want to exist, so i’m hoping someone makes them soon

    Thank you for giving the Fediverse some of that Imaginary Network action I crave from Reddit. I tried asking them to move to Kbin and they aren't interested. You and @Martineski have been doing a fine job making quality posts and always citing your sources. I hope Martineski's Imaginary communities come back soon. I want to contribute more to ImaginarySliceOfLife here!

    I'd offer my own @FloatingIsFun to join the Imaginary mix, but it wouldn't work because we accept float things that aren't fictional and aren't static images. Besides, with that Lemmy/Kbin bug making all my posts appear to come from two hours in the future, I feel like I've already gotten more exposure than I actually deserve.

    Then I will include them on my watchlist and will try to post from at least from time to time.

    As I said in other comments, thanks to all of you who create and moderate communities. For now, I’m just trying to generate content, which I know it’s the easier part.

      thank you, i do appreciate it

      well i haven’t actually had to do much moderating yet — i’ve mostly been balancing seeding some content without spamming the local feed; as well as discussing them on matrix, and sometimes promoting them on threads like this when i remember
