!fantasyfootball I have been posting a lot to try to get it active in time for the start of regular season. I found the same community on Reddit helpful in sourcing advice/consensus on certain players and such
!homebrewing is probably the community I’m most active in. It’s a welcoming community for anyone who brews their own alcohol (mainly beer focused I would say but some people have made mead and other wines).
I’m hoping !artbykids picks up. It’s a community to post art created by kids. I know a lot of parents are proud of their kids’ artwork but don’t want to share it because they don’t know if everybody else would find it great/cute/adorable/etc. This is a positive community where any artwork by kids is welcome with positive vibes. I hope it gets more people proudly showing off their kids’ artwork, because I think kids artwork is more than just a piece of art, it’s a window into a kid’s mind.
I wouldn’t call myself a “regular poster” but I was making an effort to try putting some stuff on !superautopets before BG3 started monopolizing my attention.
Currently focusing on !games and !games which are pretty much the same thing. The communities are a lot more active than last month so things are looking pretty good.
I also want to focus on getting a graphic novels community up and running but I don’t have that much free time sadly.
Do you think at some point they should merge to just have more activity and content in one place rather than people having to discuss the same things twice?
Hard to say, I’d prefer having discussion be in one dedicated place but it’s probably a good idea having a backup community, especially at times where Lemmy World goes down.
I see. Yes, having a backup community makes sense, but at the same time, I always feel like having both similar communities creates a lot of other issues.
I never really know if I should post on !fediverse or !fediverse for instance. I usually do it on the .ml one because it seems more active, but I also feed bad for people only on the .world who might miss content
but I also feed bad for people only on the .world who might miss content
That doesn’t happen because everything is federated, the .world users will also see the posts on .ml, they can upvote/downvote, comment etc. and vice-versa.
I know it’s true in theory, but in practice I have seen some LW users only wanting to browse their local feed, or not wanting to subscribe to .ml communities.
Another issue with having the same content posted twice is that the same discussion could just happen twice, bringing discussion fatigue to the people that just discussed the same topic in another thread.
