    I’m starting to get a feel of what works (=gets popular) and what doesn’t in [email protected], but haven’t curated what I’m posting yet. Still working on the megathread that will (hopefully) list all the art communities on Lemmy

    [email protected] is single handedly being carried by OP 😂 btw @[email protected] if you’re interested in being mod in there I’ll appoint you

    [email protected] will maybe return for the end of the year, or maybe remain on standby for Lemmyvision 2

    Not my communities but every now and then I try posting in [email protected] ; [email protected] ; [email protected] to help them get more exposure

    I wish there was a wiki here, or a better way to keep “long running” information. I can pin posts, but that’s not always the best, and it feels like “This post is more important than everything else”. Maybe I should spin one up sometime

        Sidebar links are arguably better anyway. Pinned posts don’t always federate that way beyond the instance of the mod doing it. There are so many quirky things about running and moderating federated communities on the current version of Lemmy.

        Linked posts are crap, because they link to a specific instance and you cannot participate unless you are on that instance or search the /c for the topic on your home instance yourself. At least i have not found a way to link to posts in a way that keeps you on your instance like with linking (distant) communities.

    Trying to make [email protected] a thing, but so far allbymyself.gif. Was sort of looking to have it as a sysadminy discussion thing, but lemmy is too small for it, yet, so it’s just a bunch of links to The Register, Drew DeVault and a couple others.

        Maybe, but then I’m not aiming for generic sysadmin. I was hoping to get true graybeards to share their experience(s). It’ll get there, I think, but it will take a lot more than just a few tens of thousands of users to get enough people from the crowd.

          Good luck, seriously.

          As a beard (long past the pfy stage, still have a ways to go till gray status) I understand the desire to avoid the type of basic shit that seems to show up in sysadmin communities now. Way too much “I’m the only IT guy so they gave me a fancy title, but I’m doing Tier 2 helpdesk work at best” flying around in the admin spaces lately. The non admin spaces are even worse, with regular “sky is falling” articles about Windows features that are disable-able with a single click in a top level settings menu.

          That said, if the space gets popular, it’s going to attract all types, including the newbies with inflated egos. Kind of a catch 22. You need it to be popular to attract any users, but you’re trying to cater to a specific subset.

          I’d start with filling out the community description/sidebar, myself. Beyond that, you’ve got a new subscriber here.
