    Very good! Since I made the move from Kbin to Lemmy.world I’ve gotten a lot more engagement (more engagement than from before Kbin went down I mean, obviously Kbin has no engagement now). Gotten ~200 subscribers on each of the refounded communities in the past month.

      I have also gone from zero people interacting with my posts to 1–4 upvotes since I stopped screaming into the dead void of kbin.social, unaware it went down since my kbin.run account managed to post the post on the magazine hosted at kbin.social until I tried to advertise it on !newcommunities@lemmy.world (!newcommunities@lemmy.world) and got told about kbin.social going down. Feels good to not be screaming into a void as much.

    It took about a week to get the last 4, but I just checked and I’ve hit 3k subs!

    I think I’ve leveled out. But I’m happy to have gotten this far. I’m still enjoying posting, I have regulars that add a comment or two on most posts. My views are still high.

    Not sure if I’m ready to start incorporating another community into my routine or anything, but I’ll have to see if anything grabs my interest.

    I just discovered this community, it’s pretty cool! I like these threads.

    I run 2 niche communities for random train nerds in Australia: !MelbourneTrains@aussie.zone, and !BrisbaneTrains@aussie.zone. BrisbaneTrains is mostly dead, but MelbourneTrains has been going almost since this instance began, and thanks to living in Melbourne, it’s a lot easier to post OC.

    There’s not very much activity there either, but to be fair I haven’t exactly been pushing it. We currently have 260ish subscribers, and 170ish posts. I’d guess I’ve made about 150 of those posts. There’s a few people commenting now which is nice, and OC/certain news articles often go past 20 upvotes

    I recently acquired !catastrophicfailure@lemmy.world. I don’t think I’ll have much to post there, but as the previous mod was AWOL for almost a year, I hope I’ll at least be a slight improvement.

    As for spaceflight and related communities, !spaceflight@sh.itjust.works, !spacex@sh.itjust.works, !rocketlab@lemmy.nz are chugging along nicely, as launches and news occur. For some inexplicable reason, !spaceflightmemes@sh.itjust.works has more subscribers than !spaceflight@sh.itjust.works, despite having less content.

    Now for the communities I’ve neglected:

      I’m not really a Tesla, but I think trying to move off of .world is a good idea. I know it’s a niche problem, but my instance (as well as a few others which are located geographically quite far from Helsinki where .world is hosted), are currently running 1-2 week federation times with .world. it’s a little bit better since the last Lemmy update, before that no posts would appear for around 7 days. Now posts in .world communities do appear, but only if they’re posted people who aren’t also on .world, and the post (as well as all comments on it) are stuck as showing a score of 0.

      Apparently it has something to do with Lemmy only sending 1 federation activity at a time, which will apparently be fixed in an upcoming update. But even generally, I think it’s a wise idea to decentralise a bit

        Oh crap, wasn’t aware of that! Is there a detailed post available somewhere with graphs and data? There was one a few weeks back when Australian and New Zealand instances were impacted
