2023 Owl of the Year Recap
2023 Owl of the Year Recap
For the data nerds, I've compiled some quick stats on the tournament. Title pic is raw data. I'll post the filtered data in comments.
If there's anything I don't go over you're curious in, let me know. I don't have any stats from Lemmy, so I can't do things like popular times or anything too specific like that,
I was already afraid you had forgotten about the recap, but it's finally here! This community and especially the OOTY tournament was honestly my favourite thing from Lemmy this year. I am already looking forward to next year's edition. Meanwhile, keep up the good stuff anon6789!
I totally agree with this. It was a ton of fun. I feel I have been logging into lemmy less and less, but this gave me something to be excited to log in for a couple of times a day.
I'm much the same. I'm worried it's become too Reddit like that it's feeling like a copycat with only 1% of the content and nothing to differentiate it.
I don't have enough knowledge or experience to stand out in r/superbowl, but here it's small enough I can focus on you all as individuals, so I try to do that, upvoting and trying to respond to everyone, take requests, and things like that. If this is going to be a small group, you need to feel heard and to feel a part of what's going on.
Everything outside of this group feels like it's all politics, tech, or news I could get anywhere. This could be a place for niches to thrive, but it feels much of the energy went into recreating the big subs, which isn't going to work without the volume. The socialists and communists are the only groups I see taking advantage of this on Lemmy. AI art is also doing pretty well from what I see in my feed.
It has me a bit worried about Lemmy's future, but c/superbowl is still growing steadily. As long as I feel I can keep finding new things and I keep seeing new people popping up in the comments, I'm cool sticking with this.
Nah, holiday schedule just has me out of whack. I fell asleep at 5pm yesterday and woke up at 5 am even though I have off today, so I figured I may as well do it while I was up already.
People really got passionate about it in the second round. After the weak reception to the announcement and the first day of voting I was worried, but it picked up momentum and held it.
It was hectic, but now I've got an app that does drafts, so I can get much more done ahead for next time and maybe we'll have actual polling next year too. I look forward to it as well.
Polling would definitely be nice to have!
