I’m tired, boss.
They are petty dead. I’m finding less and less time to post content to keep them active. But I’m trying.
Take a break! They are not going anywhere, and it's good to be away for some time
Your football communities should pick up in the next month. I'm a sooner - think I'm going to take this year off.
If you have any programming skills, grab the pythorhead library for python (or something similar for a language you prefer), and slap together some code to automate at least some of the parts of regular posting.
And like the other guy said, breaks don't hurt. I stopped posting to [email protected] for a long while and it stopped growing, but once I felt like doing it again, it just resumed chugging along like before.
what community do you mod? Post a link and ill start posting there or advertise in on twitter or something.
A few niche ones.
I also mod a couple with Blaze, which do have a good bit of discussion.
Oh hey, on fanaticus.social! I discovered that a little while ago and I am glad people are putting sports communities on the sports instance. I understand the importance of decentralization and that it is good to have several communities about the same thing on different servers, but I first found an MLB community somewhere totally elsewhere than the sports instance, so it pleases me to see someone using the sports instance for sports. I like the idea of interest category instances, like how programming has programming.dev and lots of communities that have to do with programming (such as different ones for different programming languages, for funny stuff, etc.).
I don't know much about the things your chosen communities are about, unfortunately, so sorry I cannot really help or post. Except…
A post on r/NFL that stuck with me was the one where they go through all the mascots and find out which teams have fewer fans than the thing they are named after, with count of fans guessed based off something like Facebook likes. Maybe I'll do something like that but for college football. I also remember a video on YouTube ranking some kind of team (forget what sport) by how much their mascot would weigh. Although that might be a bit high-effort for someone like me who doesn't have much interest in football. Now I'm thinking of that MLB post with the names of the MLB teams if they went by the name of the most common animal in their… region? home state? and spoiler alert it was all ants.
Invite still stands: become an ambassador at https://fediverser.network/communities/[email protected] and you can get all different sources of material + invite other users from reddit to join you. :)
cool saving this message. I appreciate it...no sarcasm.
Thanks!
Don't get down; the specific team ones will probably be difficult for a while but my whole existence on the CFB Reddit was really game threads. Off-season was hard as a I normally wouldn't comment much unless it was my specific team being talked about, and I'd be surprised if we even had every P4 team represented at this point. I'm hoping it turns into an opportunity to get into other team game threads and learn more about them, but I have season tickets to WVU so home games will be hard to keep up with in-thread.
I know nothing about US football, but maybe it would easier to have a generic community for the whole sport rather than communities for each team?
Yeah, there is a generic college football community and NFL community, too. I mod the college football one.
