Is there any way to reverse degrowth of the niche communities on Lemmy?

Like others, I came over when Reddit was banning 3rd party apps. Many communities were being started and I wanted to help. So I chose one community to form here and try and grow. And we did! There was a time a short while in the little KC Chiefs community was in the top 100 communities on Lemmy world. I knew that wouldn’t last...

Brkdncr,

Anyone that was around while Reddit was growing will remember that there were few subreddits to begin with. I think fediverse needs that to happen before expanding.

I don’t know how to fix it. Maybe sub-feddits need to be pruned if they aren’t thriving. Maybe tags in titles would be more helpful until they have enough content to warrant their on category.

Brkdncr,

Most sugar alternatives used in soda really messes with your guts.

Brkdncr,

1st: fire hazard, code violations, insurance won’t pay out.

2nd: This is fine for maybe a shed or ADU but when you start doing this to a home and start thinking big picture, there are some questions that come up, such as most of the cost in solar is the labor. If you’re already mounting panels, inverters, wiring, why not go the extra steps to install solar for the home and gain back a lot more costs when the sun is shining? Why mess around with a small window a/c when for the same amount of work (or less) you can install a mini split with better efficiency?

Brkdncr,

Would it heat up the oceans: yes.

Significantly:no.

If this pans out it would be a lot better than what we are doing now.

TIL Alice Walton (Walmart heir) killed a pedestrian in a driving accident and was never charged. She has also been arrested for DUI twice but never charged. (en.wikipedia.org)

The sketchy part is not her not getting convicted. It’s that no charges were even filed. I also enjoyed this bit of info from one of the sources regarding the other DUI incident. Prosecutors in Texas have dropped a 2011 drunken driving citation against Wal-Mart Stores Inc. heiress Alice Walton.

Brkdncr,

This happens a LOT more often than you think. I worked with a well-connected person that killed a dude while she was drunk driving. She was not in jail at any point.

I think the rush to recreate communities is a bad idea.

If you recall reddits growth many of their communities evolved as offshoots of a single generic community. This made it easier for people to see discussions they normally would not get involved in, and once the posts in a similar category reached critical mass it moved to a sub Reddit....

Brkdncr,

Not everyone that is technically adept agree with your statements.

Brkdncr,

Parks require maintenance that’s paid with tax dollars. They go to shit really fast without it.

I don’t think this needs to be profitable but there are real costs that need to be covered somehow, and it’s not going to be taxes.

Brkdncr,

If an ip address is a house number, then a port is an apartment number.

Awkwardturtle The banned 1000 sub mod Talks about the admins after Ban and got a message "let all burn to the ground" (lemmy.world)

So yeah... maybe the turtle slowly waking up that he was just a Laptog for reddit and thrown away as soon as they didnt need him anymore ( moderation is allways a volunteer thing and shouldnt be like a 2nd job ).

Brkdncr,

Should platforms like kbin/lemmy/etc have limits to how many magazines/categories a single user can moderate?
