!midriffmoe@ani.social just hit 1000 tummy enjoyers! Wooo!
Also !moomin@sopuli.xyz is a huge success. Regular commenters. Hit a hundred subs in just a few days. Now increasing more slowly but steadily.
I’m not too frustrated anymore (as I was a month or two ago) about the lack of posters, and have pretty-much just resigned myself these days to people treating EGN+ as my personal blog.
Maybe in the future, contributors will organically develop and/or I’ll hit upon some method to get more people involved, I don’t know.
I think part of the problem is that while plenty of people can appreciate the cool art of ‘BD’ and the little tidbits I write up, there’s not many people across the Lemmysphere who are all that knowledgeable themselves about Euro GN’s, and who also want to spend time posting.
This actually kind of goes back to my disappointment with Reddit users, in that I thought more would jump ship after learning about the many ways they’ve been disrespected and monetised by Reddit mgmt through various means. I.e., with a bigger userbase here, chances of more engagement with niche communities like ours would increase a bit. Ah, well.
I guess European graphic novels might be popular in French (sometimes you see some on !forumlibre@jlai.lu ) but in English it’s definitely more niche
!aneurysmposting@sopuli.xyz has been growing steadily whether I post or not. Its now a decent size and I haven’t checked but I think more relevant on Lemmy than don’t dead open inside which would be the closest comparison.
Also a community that came through organically on Lemmy and not an import from the other site!
!aneurysmposting@sopuli.xyz , thanks for sharing!
I think there is another one that don’t dead open inside (basically the orders of the words is different), but I don’t remember the name

That would be !nosafetysmokingfirst@sh.itjust.works! Over 250 subscribers in just a week!
Very happy with !football@lemmy.world and the matches thread now, thank you @UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev
I’d like to see a sports specific instance (just something like lemmy.sport) so we could have all the sport communities on one instance, rather than all over the place, and also avoid the weird politics and who’s (not) federated with who issues.
That has been exactly my reasoning when I created the topic specific instances, and I have been trying to convince @blaze@feddit.org to get out of LW and into !talk@soccer.forum
Regarding a “general” sports instance, I have setup https://athletic.center/ some long ago, but never got to create communities for it. I was thinking of using it for less sports that are less “professional” and more suitable for hobby practitioners (e.g, sailing, skiing, diving, swimming, CrossFit, etc) the main reason, to be totally honest, is that sport.* are quite expensive.
For people curious, we had a long discussion last week: https://feddit.org/post/2471872/1817865
In summary
- I’m still not convinced on rglullis’ business model, relying on 30$ yearly subscription to keep running the instances (I’m afraid that after a while, he’ll get tired of trying and then will have to shut down all the instances due to costs)
- I’m not a moderator of !football@lemmy.world , so it’s not even my community
Pretty happy with !noyank@lemmy.ml it is on its way to 300 people and has several active subscribers. If a discussion-type thread is started (rather than a recommendation thread) it does get discussion going.
