Patient Posters

yeah I know, just wanted to make a joke about the posters being patient

Honestly, even with the idea of daily content in mind, I would prefer that we just didn't end up making a bunch of "anyone else stopped playing games cuz job and old?" or "it's okay to quit games. Here's a bunch of totally relatable reasons why tou shouldn't have a backlog" threads and calling it content. They're unoriginal, samey, and sometimes I feel, botted.

I wouldn't say it was a mistake, but it was certainly overly ambitious. It's the fediverse, people are free to build communities how they see fit. But we also have to live with people using that freedom in suboptimal ways. The cream will eventually rise to the top.

I think some folks were more interested in rushing in to be king of the hill rather than actually building communities

Nah start with the small stuff not everyone what's to be apart of the big community

Wait for price drop begins once all the DLCs are out.

Still waiting for Niet Automata to drop. So far, the game refuses to. It even went UP.

You should use the cross posting feature in these cases. It still creates multiple posts, but they all get linked up.

Sometimes you need to be the content you wish to see.

Tbh, people expected more users to migrate than what ended up happening. The rawness of the Lemmy UX definitely disrupted what could have been a much larger exodus. And many users haven't been able to transition from lurking and doom scrolling to actively contributing as a member of a community.

But the group of users here now, while relatively small, is vastly superior in average quality to the users on reddit. So just keep being knowledgeable and fun and slowly but surely, people will continue to siphon over from reddit. It'll take a while for the trickle of users to turn into a stream, and maybe at some point a waterfall.

I'm quite proud of what we were able to accomplish in r/place over the past week, I know a lot of people here think it's dumb to even participate but as you say, we need more users. You've gotta figure this will help at least a bit.

This turned into a bit of a ramble, but basically I was trying to say all you gotta do is contribute and participate however you can and have faith users will be drawn by our positive energy.

I'll patiently wait for your post.
