Weekly thread - How are you doing with your communities?
1y 4d ago by lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/Blaze in fedigrow@lemm.ee
I haven't looked at the numbers in a while. Activity went down a little, but games continue being posted and played every day. 413 MAU right now. Could be better, maybe I'll promote the community again to get some new players.
television@lemm.ee has hit the over 1k mark and now has 1040k subscribers, and remains the most user-active community on lemm.ee
This is one if my favourite comms! You've really worked hard at it, there's always a thread to chat in and there's loads going on. Really appreciate it ☺️
and remains the most user-active community on lemm.ee
Impressive, well done!
Still just getting off the ground but I've had a few people drop in already, feels good man
Well done! Have you promoted it to fitness@lemmy.world ?
Thanks for the suggestion, I just did so. Welcome back btw!
Thank you !
movies@lemm.ee seems to become the de facto movies community as the main poster on movies@lemmy.world isn't that active anymore.
I know it was a dark time without Blaze 😢
Totes agree
Appreciated!
Come on people, I'm sure all of you are doing fine when I'm away 😄
Haha we're lost without you
Oh nice, thanks for the heads up. How are you enjoying lemm.ee so far?
To be fair the 4 weeks thing is a one-time issue, once you're done with that Lemm.ee is pretty good. Good admins, and indeed nice to have a more unfiltered view
You can use this list and sort by Active users to have an idea of the servers with the most users: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list
Out of that list, https://lemmy.today/instancesis know for having an empty blocked instances list, so they don't defederate anyone.
In the other direction, you can use a tool such as https://defed.xyz/check?name=lemm.ee&software=lemmy(https://defed.xyz/check?name=lemmy.today&software=lemmy) to see which instances defederate a certain instance.
Maybe https://lemmy.zip/?
They have good reputation, regular reports on home@lemmy.zip, very short defederation list: https://lemmy.zip/instances
You're welcome to make an account on crazypeople.online. The sidebar should tell you all you need to know. If it turns out it's not your thing you can always try another instance.
No worries mate. I hope you find the right space for you.
Glad to hear! Hopefully in a few weeks you'll be all set!
It's okay!
Mander.xyz is a good instance that federate all other instances while having good moderation, its dedicated to nature and science
No problem mate! Lazysoci.al was just the random instance I picked when I joined WomensStuff@lazysoci.al is a lazysocial instance so when I set up this account rather than CheeseToastie, I went for lazysoci.al. Lemmyworld I set up so I could access other instances but I cant remember which one. I just checked and I can access hilariouschaos stuff from both my lemmyworld and lazysoci.al accounts.
Hope that helps!
Great good luck 👍
Hello @sunaurus@lemm.ee, have you all every considered reducing the avatar upload timeframe to 2 weeks instead of 4?
We'll get some more control over images when 1.0 comes, I will take a look at it again then, but in general the new user cooldown for image uploads has really significantly reduced the amount of image related abuse we have seen.
@Character_Locked@lemm.ee please understand, nobody on our admin team is getting paid to moderate disgusting images, they are volunteering to do it, and it takes a mental toll. Also, image hosting itself is not free. Our donations right now are barely breaking even with server costs. So realistically, our options are not "current situation vs fully unrestricted image uploads", they are "current situation vs completely burned out admin team and costs increasing beyond donations".
Thank you for the answer!

Some larger surges over the last couple weeks and things continue to trend positively. Quite happy with the growth and activity everywhere on the site. I'd like to see more local users but I'm sure that will come with time.
As a side note- @Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com it's nice to see you around again. I've been missing your TCG posts in our pokemon community lol. Hope all is well mate.
Oof. I've been in the ER a couple times recently due to hypertension spikes. Some scary shit, yeah. Meds now adjusted, yadda-yadda, and hopefully things work out.
In the meantime, still trying to get some posts out there to keep the sublemmy alive. Unfortunately, numbers are rather sharply down the past couple weeks. Usually this is simply due to the vagaries of timestamps and theme of material, but I'm not sure it's just that, anymore.
Oh well, a few more weeks will hopefully tell the tale, for ze better or ze wurst.
I guess, truth be told, that we could ALL use some help with our projects(!)
Take care!
Football@lemm.ee gets a bit more activity lately, that's nice to see
