Sorry, meant literature.cafe and whilst no, the upsides outweigh the historical data IMO.

Interesting choice over literature.cafe

Nice 😎

Welcome aboard!

As soon as you post over there, I’ll make you a mod.

I see a deleted post with no context.

Why is wanting [email protected] to succeed vanity?

Bruv, seriously, why is this conversation even happening and here?

I just want the community to be active, the whole platform to be active.

So stop trying to kill it then.

Look, fuck everything else. What Lemdroid needs isn’t posts, it needs comments. Real comments. Making it look busier isn’t going to do that. This is the same as in the football threads where you post with good intentions and get zero responses. You’re aiming for the wrong things.

I saw one of your alts then banned

Huh? What alt? Banned where?

But I’ll probably just open a post on [email protected] to see what people over there think.

And this is what I’m talking about when I talk about ego. The Ask Android community is there to enable people to ask questions and find answers, you don’t post there and yet you want to close it for your own vanity.

All comments you see mentioning “every time I look for a community on Lemmy to ask a question, it’s a ghost town”.

So let it be a ghost town. Again, there’s many good communities that aren’t the biggest on Lemmy and they’re a success. What makes them a success, the fact that people go back and enjoy them.

Most users just go for the community with the higher number of subs / MAU.

Those are literally all of the users I’m trying to avoid. My great Lemmy experience relies on me not having to come across those people.

This is the main reason why [email protected] and [email protected] are still the largest communities by far while [email protected] and [email protected] exist.

It’s just called traction. There was never a compelling reason to move. It’s not like football which got locked so everyone was forced to move.

If we want decentralization, the non-LW/ml communities have to be better, otherwise network effect just brings people there naturally.

I want Lemmy. I don’t want Blaze’s Lemmy or my Lemmy, I just wanna Lemmy. Not everything needs you or my fingerprints on it.

If you prefer not to interfere with that, that’s okay, but I’m not sure why criticizing people who try to (and it’s not only me, you see other people like @[email protected] doing a great job consolidating inactive communities: https://lemmy.zip/post/40774008) helps with decentralization.

Because this isn’t coming from a good place.

If you were trying to consolidate android@lw and android@lemdroid and android@whatever I could see where you’re coming from, but you’re literally just being a community Nazi. I can’t support that.

But we’re both part of that community. Me suggesting something to you isn’t something that happens in a vacuum, it’s two regular poster of the community/instance who discuss where posts are made.

The posts are fine where they are. If I want to discuss features/news I go to android, if I have a question, I go to askandroid

The first prerequisite to have a good time is to have people to interact with.

The prerequisite is having some integrity.

Then LW will keep being the centralized instance with the vast majority of communities.

So it’s Lemdroid’s responsibility to pander?

People probably love Android too, but don’t want to post to a community where there are 7 post in a month, and with 87 monthly active users compared to [email protected] which has 1590 MAU ([email protected] has 3k, but we already know questions aren’t allowed there)

Says who? If people want to post to LW or anywhere else, they will. I don’t post to [email protected] because I don’t like the moderation policy, none of the other self hosted communities across Lemmy are as active. Despite that, I still don’t post. Because the community isn’t a good fit for me.

I asked @[email protected] to move @[email protected] to another instance and he didn’t wanna. Despite my strong feelings about decentralisation, I stuck there because community is more important.

I like the admin team and the community of Lemdroid. Whether they’re tiny or there’s more popular elsewhere. I’m not chasing numbers of trying to act like ActivityPub Jesus, first and foremost is cultivating my good time without letting my ego get in the way.

I’m surprised, as I know you’re against centralization of large instances, but this would mean to basically tell people to go to Lemmy.world to have a general Android community.

If people don’t like the way Lemdroid is run, LW is there or any other instance is there and available.

Not sure what you mean. We both post on [email protected]. Is using a general football community “artificially fluffing”, compared to using !premierleague@instance, !seriea@instance, !bundesliga@instance ?

I don’t post in football to create content or make it look busy, I post there because I love football.

They can’t, in this case, because [email protected] rules prevents support questions to be asked.

I meant that people can go to another instance. Lemdroid is fine as is. And for the record, you’re not attempting to consolidate, you’re attempting to artificially fluff.

Yeah, I don’t agree with locking either. LemDro.id is fine as it is.

There’s a clear division. You’re trying to micromanage and for what. Let communities exist. People that want to go to the biggest community can. There’s been plenty of occasions where I’ve seen more discussions in smaller communities.

If it’s relevant, it’ll end up in android too.

I actually didn’t know of it. I would happily welcome @[email protected] here.

I honestly don’t see a niche in which a new community fits. Surely it would be better to help moderate the existing community. Trust me, Lemmy has enough Technology communities.

Erm [email protected] exists and does a fine job at doing what other tech communities doesn’t.

At this point, I’m half sure that the world would be a better place sans anti-AI zealots than sans AI

What in the weirdo behaviour is this?

I’d prefer not to as I don’t want to smear the man. He does some fantastic things with the majority of his time.

So there’s a couple things. Inevitably hosting a video site is expensive as hell, not to mention getting brands to use something requires more than just users. For the former, recurring donations can take the pain away and is in the spirit of the Fediverse as we know it. But with advertising, you have a guarantee and as things develop, brands will go crazy to target their desired demographics. Which is something that the Fediverse isn’t really on board with from a fundamental point of view. All in all, it’s easy to say it was only a joke. That would be far more believable if not for the vindictive actions that followed. It’s not the first questionable thing Dansup has done and it won’t be the last. In this case I think he could’ve just posed the question and had an open discussion about it.

I’m glad that the community is supporting Hazycora for taking a moral stand.

[email protected]

I’m not a fan of stealing nudes from people that willingly share them online with a chosen community. But people will always find weird ways to justify theft.

[email protected]

That’s a good post.

This community is to catalogue drama, not start it.

My Android is my primary device so I don’t get the alt text. Also I feel like I’m letting you down, because so many times I will watch a video from the preview as I just want to watch the video silently and the only way to do that on mobile without messing with the whole systems volumes controls is the previews. 🥹

You know I never knew what DeArrow was but something I’ve always found annoying about YouTube is that when a title is long, the only way to read it is to open the video

It’s worth noting that [email protected] is also similar and around.

From the outside looking in… Stop posting on Lemmy.World communities then. I’m not sure why that’s such a difficult concept for some people.

I don’t see a problem. Maybe the last line.

Holy fuck. If that’s your answer, your group deserved to be deleted.

Having done a search, I found a Reddit link that essentially says soulism is the belief that freedom should be pursued over everything else and even said gravitational forces are something that the soulism movement aspires to overcome.

So if you strive for freedom, why don’t you set up an instance that reflects your values and aspirations?

WTF is soulism?

Oh, we do that for our mayoral elections

What’s ranked choice voting?

Alice!

Every time you’ve created a community, I always lament that it’s at a bad time and promise to check out your instance later. Just now I finally checked and sweet potato pie, you need to chill. It’s wonderful that you’re proactive and you’re trying to create an amazing instance for everyone. But less is more. Rather than having a hundred low activity communities, have a few that are the go to version of them in the Fediverse. Just my unsolicited advice as someone that wanted to come and commune with you, only to be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of communities you’ve created.

Thank you

You’re already the powermod in our hearts! ❤

I’ll try, but ultimately you need the likes of @[email protected] since he’s the heart of the Arsenal community.
