Trying to populate !collapse@sopuli.xyz and !privacy@programming.dev
The good news is that some posters started to posting there after a while.
I have started posting pretty much daily again on !thrashmetal@lemmy.world, now have a regular poster other than myself. Occasionally there is another user that drops by every once in a while and unloads a bunch of content which is nice. I appreciate the effort those users go to. Very slow growth with that community, though it is fairly niche.
!mealtimevideos@lemmy.cafe and !documentaries@lemmy.cafe had a very successful migration from Lemmy.world, and both seem to have actually gained more active users than before, which I attribute to Lemmy.cafe participating in Lemmy-federate, as well as the announcement in the new communities sub-lem. All of the big posters keeping mealtime alive transferred over as well, so overall extremely pleased! ^^
Well done! Good example that community migration can happen and be successful!
A bit busy with life now, so not as active as I used to be. Mostly focused on !showsandmovies@lemm.ee, activity is stable
I’m just the janitor. I don’t mind. I only ever have issues to resolve in !3dprinting@lemmy.world. The flop of !unfinishedprojects@lemmy.world after people seemed enthusiastic was a bit of a bummer. I’m not sure if my posts intimidated, or my config of the community failed to resonate, or maybe it is just me. !wotd@lemmy.world is basically me taking notes to expand my vocabulary and posting those here.
For me, Lemmy can’t be a project I commit to like those of you that really build the community super actively. I love y’all for doing that. I need the social community part for my own stability, and try to contribute something meaningful when it seems appropriate.
I do find it interesting how Lemmy has evolved over the last 6 months or so. The demographic has shifted somewhat, gauging by how people grasp and respond to my more abstracted thoughts. There seems to have been an influx of a younger audience especially from shitjustworks. It could be that they were always here but not actively engaging or in ways that I encounter.
I’m also more aware of the delay of the bot transporters mechanism between instances and how it can delay interactions between instances.

Seems on-topic for the community at least
!leagueoflegends@lemmy.world isn’t in great shape. I keep it updated with the important news, but Reddit just has a monopoly.
I posted mostly on !esports@lemmy.zip for the Worlds. Not playing the game anymore, so can’t really contribute a lot to that one. Have you tried promoting it on other gaming communities? It’s surprising the activity is that low, but on the other hand so is !football@lemmy.world so maybe that’s just topics people on Lemmy are not interested in
!otomegames@ani.social has now acquired an icon that fits in with the rest of the instance—it’s an anime picture! Still have to get going on the backup instance.
The weekly What are you playing posts tend to get at least some engagement nowadays.
I fixed up the OtomeGamesBot to post them for me, which I correctly marked as a bot account.
One upvote and nothing else.
I also recall it being possible to prevent bot posts from being shown to you. (Settings > uncheck Show Bot Accounts)
I’ll let the bot post again two more weeks, and if the posts continue getting less engagement than I’m used to seeing I’ll probably need to go back to posting them on my account instead.
