14·1 year agoI just started https://sh.itjust.works/c/vtubers. I’m part of a small community of VTubers, and hoping to meet more people and make friends through Lemmy as well.
1·1 year agohttps://lemmy.ml/c/findacommunity is a place for people to post communities that they mod or enjoy. It’s quiet for now, but I’m trying to spread the word.
So far I’m looking forward to surfing this wave. Sad to see Reddit burn, but at least there are alternatives.
2·1 year agoI’m using Jerboa right now, and it feels comfortably similar to Sync. We’ll see how things progress though!
Sync WAS Reddit for me. I tried out the OEM app, and good grief is it awful. If Reddit wants to turn into Facebook, they can do it without me - and, by the sounds of things, without the majority of their main content creators. I’m very sad about the end of an era, but at the same time looking forward to seeing how Lemmy works out.
1·1 year agoI created the https://sh.itjust.works/c/vtubers community just now.
- Are you creating this community just to create it? By that I mean, are you willing to put in the work as the moderator if it does take off?
- I’ve already started the welcome post and created some basic, common-sense rules. I’ve never moderated a HUGE community before, but I imagine my skill will grow with the community. If nothing else, I know where to look for help if I need it!
- Is it a niche community of a larger subset that has a thriving community or a completely new category?
- I couldn’t find any communities related to streaming that already existed. While vtubing is a niche of the greater livestreaming phenomenon, it’s growing in popularity on its own, and my expertise is within vtubing rather than general livestreaming.
- Are you willing to regularly post stuff to start seeding comments & advertise it in the relevant places?
- Whether or not it takes off, I’m planning to post regularly. I’m hoping that it will grow organically rather than by brute force advertisement.
No matter what happens, I think it’ll be fun. I’m not in this for power or for building THE BIGGEST community, I’m looking for a new place to spend my free time now that reddit is imploding. If things go sideways, the delete button exists.
