!animation@lemm.ee is doing pretty well. We’re close to a thousand subscribers. One thing I’ve noticed is that even on the occasional days where there are no new posts, we’re consistently getting new subscribers. I’m guessing it’s a testament to the staying power of certain posts and also the fact that the community is pretty high up in various animation/anime/cartoon related directories.

It’s something that’s made me more comfortable with going a day or even multiple days without a new post whereas in the past I would desperately search for anything remotely relevant to post and sometimes find myself a little burnt out because of that. Now, not only are there a decent number of other regular posters but I don’t really freak out too much if I can’t find anything compelling and relevant to post.

How do you think the electorate becomes this way? It’s not because of some innate failure of humans. It’s because of the massive alienation that has systematically occurred over the past 50+ years (and really since WW2) as a result of deliberate policies that have decimated communities, destroyed public education, massively widened the wage gap, ruined the housing market, and is wiping out the environment. Among many other things

Policies that are frequently pushed by Republicans, but sometimes supported and often not repudiated properly by Democrats.

Wait, pinned posts don’t federate properly? That’s very interesting.

That’s strange. I’d be interested to know how and what you searched for so I can maybe improve how easy it is for people to find !animation@lemm.ee.

Maybe it’s just the communities I frequent, but I think it did carry over. There’s a lot of sarcastic comments, holier than thou comments, and meme comments on Lemmy just like Reddit.

Edit: Also, a lot of negativity.

!animation@lemm.ee is doing pretty well. Last couple of weeks I have started getting other people posting so I’m not feeling as pressured to find something to post every day. There was also a lot of news to share due to the recent Annecy festival. Now that it’s over, the associated subscriber growth has slowed down a little bit, but I do have some ideas to have more discussion and conversation starters rather than mostly just news all the time.

Having the same issue here. Some icons like from the meta or support communites don’t load:

While others like from the animation community I mod do:

The error response is the same timeout that you see.

What are the differences between Lemmy and Mbin?

So basically, had a massive spike during the reddit blackout in July last year. Dropped down to half by November and has since shown fairly steady (if measured) growth. I think that’s a good sign.

Ah thanks!

Oh you.

I got so hyped for a second. Will still probably check it out.
