  • Yesterday was a bit of a dumpster fire for all the communities on walledgarden.xyz with some server balancing that went quite poorly if I'm honest. I'll make a detailed post about it when I'm less annoyed and more confident things are squared away.

    Things are back to normal so far today and !gardengrooves@walledgarden.xyz members are already hard at work sharing some awesome tracks.

    !weedtime@walledgarden.xyz has also seen some new activities that have been great to see.

    !loweffortmemes@walledgarden.xyz is active in bursts but it's our little home for shitposting and being goofy.

      Sorry to hear

      • It is what it is. Not my favorite things to deal with but it's part of the experience. Unfortunately now that I'm expanding the instance it impacts more than just me. Sorry to anyone who's had to put up with it!

  • I was originally planning to start the 2nd annual SuperbOwl Owl of the Year event on Election Day, and I'm glad I decided not to do that!

    I started it on Saturday instead to give people time to cool off a bit, and one the plus side, I've seen a few users I haven't heard from in a while chime in again, but the initial response has gotten almost 10% downvotes, which I find pretty shocking. It was a big success last year and really raised the sub numbers, and even if you dont care about the "competition" you still get the same pics you would anyway.

    A bit disappointed overall due to having dipped about 20 places on the active community list. I feel likes are still trending downward, and comments were feeling lower as well. I'm hoping it's just election stress taking up everyone's energy for social media and we'll bounce back soon. I still try to be a place people can come for a smile, so it's a bit sad if people aren't doing that.

  • I have been posting tons of articles on !vegan@lemmy.vg to grow the community and we rapidly gained 40 new subscribers within 3 days. Then once we have enough people making original content such as writing about their personal experiences then will I slow down on the articles.

    I’m trying to make it the largest vegan community on Lemmy so we can have the discussion on a server owned by vegans.

    • I've noticed a lot of your posts recently and have been subscribed since. Glad to see more people pushing out vegan communities.

    • Well done, and good luck!

  • Main hardware community is doing good, with solid growth in subscribers and some organic engagement.

    Child communities (Laptops, Gaming Laptops, Monitors) are seeing much slower growth and very weak engagement. But that's to be expected. It helps that supporting them works in parallel to the main hardware community.
