Be the change you want to see!

Precisely! I try to comment and post partly for the purpose of generating activity

The great thing (though it's sometimes a curse) is that posts in any community will show up in the local and all feeds on the host instance, and the all feed on remote instances so long as at least one user is subscribed. So even communities with low subscribers can reach a wide audience.

Which also gives the all page it's purpose in some form because it does exactly what promised, show everything. This gives everyone a chance at being seen

Yeah, but you have to scroll a lot to get past Politics or Memes

[–] Micromot@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Depends on what you search for, active usually gives more populat stuff but you can get lucky by searchin with new

That’s what I’ve been doing at !czechrepublic@czech-lemmy.eu and it isn’t growing :( Czechs seem to be comfortable with Reddit.

I feel your pain. I've subbed to the czech-lemmy communities btw

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

I know, you're probably Czech because you replied to my post in perfect Czech. Do you think your Reddit repost bot, while not 100% ethical, could help boost that community?

To be honest, Reddit’s practices are even less ethical (process known as enshittification so I don't really care if we break their TOS. Too bad they don’t allow direct i.redd.it image linking anymore, it was annoying even before I left it.

Have you tried promoting your community on the subreddit? People might not know about it. I occasionally visit the Czech Republic, definitely subbing to your community.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

That’s what one of the links points to (via Google Translate so you can appreciate).

[–] Trekman10@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I actively try to post when I see this happen.

What communities are you experiencing this with? Maybe we share some interests.

How bout your friends or Czech spaces elsewhere on the Fediverse?

Just trying to be helpful and optimistic

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

your friends

I don't have friends. I'm a Lemming (former Redditor), after all.

elsewhere on the Fediverse

Good point.

There's !czech@kbin.social but federation with Lemmy does not really work at this point.
There are several Mastodon instances like witter.cz which are reasonably alive but I prefer Reddit-style social media. I might need to compromise on this, though.
Hive and Dread have been suggested but I can't imagine the crypro-heavy or dark web platforms attracting a meaningful crowd.

I really wish the !tipofmytongue@lemmy.world community grows here on Lemmy. It was my all time favorite subreddit. No fighting, no toxicity, it's just straight up:

"I forgot this thing"

"You mean THIS thing?"

"Yeah! That thing!"

Everybody wins.
