So true. For some reason I prefer text, probably because I can search through it quicker but when there’s no images its harder.
Like a recent example, I was missing a bunch of collectibles in a game and couldn’t figure out what location was where from the wiki and it was without images, so even trickier. I then had to find a video walkthrough which luckily had the YouTube timestamps meaning I could quickly flick through once I knew I had each one.
Just finished work for the week so I’ve posted it on there now
fingers crossed, hopefully I get some positive engagement, thanks :)
Where would you promote communities for Lemmy? I dont wanna be the annoying poster posting on other communities that have nothing to do with the game my community is about; which is Dark Souls 3
Also, all the dark souls related communities I could find were pretty much dead looking too and I already posted about it in one of them and I think that’s still the most recent post about 3 weeks ago
And my biggest problem here is that my community is a place to post trade requests for items in a game and well, I don’t need anything and I’ve already posted that I’ll answer requests for free
I also did a post mentioning the lurkers but also pointing out that they could just be people wanting to help fulfil requests too and 1 person commented saying they were and idk about the other (currently) 13 people :)
I got 2 posts (both mine) and 4 subscribers (including me) 👀
Am I doing well??
I started a community but it’s one that requires other people lmao
I got a couple lurkers but nothing else so far
But how will the content improve when the lurking continues?
I just made !pumparum and now I have work for the next 2 days, so let’s see if something happens as a result for this post and then on Monday I will make another actual post here again saying I made it in case people overlooked this post as well as a little description and will check the link you gave me to see if I can post it there yet, also I will post it on r/DarkSouls3 or something like that assuming r/pumparum is still private at that point.
If you (or anyone else who sees this) has any more ideas like other subs to post it in or communities here or other sites like the one you nust gave me or if there’s anyone who wants to help mod the new community, feel free to reply and/or PM me (however PMing works on here lol, I’m assuming it should appear in my inbox and that should hopefully appear in my emails which is how I have set up the notifications for this, which is different to usual as I always use apps for stuff like this and not browsers. Especially considering my emails dont even notify me right away, sometimes they only update like right before I try to go to sleep facepalms)
I was just trying to figure out the modmail thing and it looks like it requires the sub to be open and going to the info and whatever and I dont remember the mods’ usernames, r/pumparum is currently privated so everything related to it is gone so I don’t think that’s an option right now sadly
Also I clicked the link and thats a cool site, but I dont know how it works, “suggest a link” is greyed out and I’m not seeing a menu button or anything just “report a link”, “stats for nerds” and all the communities in alphabetical order
I just placed my phone on a surface then turned it around, that works :)
