Not going to lie, I got banned so I made my own World News Community. This community differs because there’s no silly bot, I’ll happily listen to the communities voice, and we’re a bit more lax on rules policing.
Feel free to come on by and comment. I would love to foster a News community that’s active in discussion.
Active users count users who votes, posted or commented. Visiting is not enough.
Indeed, but memes are a very popular type of content. News, not so much.
On the other hand, I had a look at https://lemmy.world/post/20721206 and that might explain where the users come from.
On other topics
I post trending news from Anime_Titties, so stuff I knew would be well received.
As for your questions, I’m happy take on mods. I’ve had like two reports on a China post so far, so not in a huge rush but as it grows I will need them.
As for instance, I don’t think they do. I can message them after work and check, I know the site is funded for at least 2 years though.
That would be nice. People come and go, and it’s always good to have at least one other person who can take over if the main mod goes missing.
For the admins, that’s even more critical. If the instance disappears overnight, the community is lost forever.
That’s why I asked why you didn’t join !globalnews@lemmy.zip, Lemmy.zip is always very transparent on how they are doing: https://lemmy.zip/post/22004722
Also, your instance only has 11 users total, with 2 users this week, 3 this month, what made you choose it?
Reddthat.com is a quite established Australian based instance with 287 monthly users
