ah yes, jokes based on my suffering
I need to be dead honest here. This is Lemmy. If it isn’t there, make it. I get not wanting to moderate etc. but if you want that thing to happen you’re going to have to make it and you’re going to have to post as often as you can. Do I want to mod a community? Not at all, but I’ve made two and I post to both as often as I can when the opportunity strikes.
The whole “this niche thing doesn’t exist so I’m not enjoying Lemmy” argument falls flat for me. Just take the leap and keep going at the pace you can. Even if it is slow, it’s something and people may migrate and enjoy the content. Ignore downvotes, they don’t really matter here. Just post stuff, even if it is irregular.
I think you missed the point of the meme. Lemmy itself is pretty niche, which is why I shitposted it here. Non-defensively, I mod 3 small niche communities.
Ah, you’re right. I just get frustrated sometimes. Doing all we can, and it never feels like enough.
But I’m not creative or interesting enough to make content. I’m barely qualified to comment in other people’s posts.
I have no idea why this meme caused you to say all of that, where does a lack of a niche community come into play with this meme? Just trying to understand
Alcohol. It was alcohol.
Appreciate the honesty haha
I have six communities. I’m not gonna pretend I put in a ton of legwork promoting them, but they’re dead af.
Ah man, looking at those bullet points I realize I’ve got the first two down pat (you should see how quickly my family’s faces turn to visual expressions of sighs! Next level disappointment speeds!)
But I realize now - I’m yet to achieve even a bronze in Internet Arguing!
SOMEONE FIGHT ME!
Would you like a 5 minute argument or a 10 minute argument, or the full half hour?
Speed run strats. Give me the half hour in 5 minutes.
Absolutely not that doesn’t sound doable at all, and in fact I think it’s quite rude of you to even suggest such a thing >:(
Oh no. It’s getting hit on the head lessons in here.
bonk
What are you obsessed over?
I bet it’s something stupid. You’re a big fat dummy head!
… I might be bad at this as well.
It’s fine, you’re doing well. You just need a few comments back and forth, then you start your fourth comment with “well, actually I think you’ll find…”.
On the fifth comment, you need to attack a minor spelling or grammatical error they have made.
Sixth comment, try and sound like you’re reasonable, and they’re obviously not… then it’s a race!
First person to compare their opponent to “basically Hitler” wins!
You should receive between 100 and 1000 argument XP, depending on the level of your opponent (you get about 10% more for a victory, but you can still level up if you lose every time).
Ah man, looking at those bullet points I realize I’ve got the first two down pat
No you haven’t.
flips table BITCH MY MIDDLE NAME IS LOOT PACKS MCGEE
MY MIDDLE NAME IS LOOT PACKS MCGEE
No it isn’t.
You have “friends and family”?
Sounds like you’re a big fat phony!
actual pic of my bro n I. Not cool man
1- proof I have actual family not fake and
2- offensive description of my actual existence bro, not cool if I could change how I look I would’ve years ago but Verizon got me locked in with that killer speed proprietary to my sick hardware, nothing I cloud do. T9 will always be faster that touch keyboards you can’t convince me otherwise(Does bad grammer & missing punctuation add or subtract point from my internet argument skill-rank? Really shooting for that bronze, over here!)
HEY EVERYONE! THIS GUY’S A BIG, FAT PHONY!
I had one on Reddit but it didn’t move over to Lemmy (there was an attempt, but it fell flat).
So now I don’t have it anymore. Still not going back to Reddit though.
Might be worth some tooling to purge communities with no activity where the mods of that community are also completely inactive. The land grab during APIgate probably led to a lot of familiar community names getting taken with the best intentions but by people who fizzled out on Lemmy more quickly.
I miss watches and watchexchange
What was it i am trying to start some niche ones
There are a number of reasons why it may not be possible to solve a problem at a particular time. A positive distraction can be healthy during such a phase
but don’t let it distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.
Dang you and your interwoven/obfuscated memes 🧩
I showed this to my girlfriend and she just stared at me
Oh no
Quick, do a joke about people who lack self awareness and see if she laughs
She fell asleep
Maybe stop fucking sharks and she’ll love you more ?
You cut me deep
Is this… is this us?
Would you feel better with a Blåhaj meme?
This resonates with me. I’m going to save it to my cloud folder labeled “memes” where I stash things to repost later when I’m bored.
But what if the ceiling is made of wood and not metal? A welder would be powerless to protect the memes that reside above.
Crazy how nature do that
Ironically most the niche communities here aren’t active.
I think the birding community is doing good. IDK how to link it on mobile.
Is Linux not niche enough for you hippies?
It’s pretty mainstream in Lemmy Terms. On Lemmy, to be a niche computer user, you need to be running FreeBSD, Gnu/Hurd, TempleOS or still be running AmigaOS :)
Is there a hippie community?
Ancient coins. There’s a Lemmy sub for it but it’s just dead. I posted to it a few times and, well, without any interaction at all, I don’t see the use.
Keep going. I promise it isn’t unnoticed. If it is dead to the point where the mod(s) won’t respond, request to take it over from the admin or make a new one.
Coins like that are really interesting for a lot of people. Post cool stuff, have fun with it, and let the grin go wide when you see someone else post.
I’ll try. I was planning on trying to get decent pictures with a DSLR and a sigma lens rather than crappy smartphone pictures.
With a little research, smart phone cameras can be better than older dslr. You’ll figure it out. I have faith <3
Why only one?
as a person currently obsessing over multiple videogames with fandoms with a terrible reputation, it do feel like that sometimes
I guess sometimes we don’t see our own patterns till they’re laid out in front of us.
This is the best meme.
Yes but now I’m more tired, more lonely and more depressed…
Welcome to the addiction hamster wheel. You coulda got into opioids, but instead you went with mechanical keyboards
