The context I was trying to show that growing a community with continuous progress is different than taking a community that is shrinking, stopping the shrinking, and then causing positive growth.
I agree with this, but I think many subscribers are from accounts that are no longer active.
Yeah I figured go/baduk would be a hard community to start, which is one of the reasons I chose the Chiefs.
But this isn’t just the difficulty of growing a community from a small start, this is seeing a community grow then shrink. Going through many niche communities the post rate and comment rate seems down across the board, outside of the biggest communities on the site. Combatting a shrinking community seems even more difficult than growing from a small start.
Like others, I came over when Reddit was banning 3rd party apps. Many communities were being started and I wanted to help. So I chose one community to form here and try and grow. And we did! There was a time a short while in the little KC Chiefs community was in the top 100 communities on Lemmy world. I knew that wouldn’t last that we would be outpaced by many more broad appeal communities but I didn’t predict the reverse in engagement growth that has come. Stagnation sure, I didn’t think Lemmy was going to surpass reddit for a long while yet, but not the barren communities of today. Meme communities and the “small gripe” adjacent communities are doing fine, but it seems all others have shrunk. I tried to keep the Kerbal Space Program community active for a bit but had to return to the official forums and even subreddit for discussion. The post I made in the Go community here remains the only post in the community.
A platform led by a CEO who edits comments of users, lies about other professionals and then double downs on the lie when proven to be a liar can’t be trusted. And in general I prefer the decentralized open source backbone of Lemmy to the ad ridden, rage bait and bug filled Reddit. I’d love for this to be my full time home for discussing my niche interests but that’s not possible without others engaging with the content.
I posted a lot in the beginning, tried to comment a lot too but now it feels like talking to myself when I make a new post in the community I started and get few or no responses. What can be done? Community specific advice is nice, but I’m looking more for Lemmy World level solutions as I’m sure there’s many many other niche communities I’m not apart of experiencing the same thing.
Not OP but a mod at KC Chiefs. If you do get the bot running and are wanting to share I would be very grateful for not access. Totally understand if that’s not something you are wanting to do tho.
Exciting! Is there a way for individual team subs to get access to the bot?
Which works out great for the Chiefs and their fans, as we get another year of “they doubted us” bulletin material.
That would be amazing! Thank you very much for your reply and offer to help! Please let me know when it’s ready.
Hi I’m a mod at Kansas City Chiefs who’s never made a auto-moderator bot or anything like it. Any tips on how where I should start?
Hiya! Game threads are really what I would appreciate the most.
Also, as a mod of !kansascitychiefs, how are you guys making game threads? Do they have to be manually made each time?
An angle that sometimes isn’t brought up is the land space required by different types of power generation. Renewables actually take way more space, and therefore way more of the environment than nuclear. Renewables have their place, but I think nuclear will always be with us.
It’s a legitimate fantastic movie. Never understood the hate.
You can block communities and users but not filter posts based on words like Apollo did (yet hopefully)
You are being rude and attacking another user who was not attacking or being sarcastic with you.
Swipe from the edge of your screen. Starting in screen is the upvotes, a swipe that starts off screen takes you back.
It does? Like I can do that from this post to get back to my feed right now.
Unless you are in a dry climate. Our house is cooled almost entirely off of a swamp cooler (small window unit for the bedroom) and the humidity is never noticeably high.
Gotta live in a desert for that. If not yeah swamp coolers are very limited.
On point 4, the key part that you are missing is that evaporation /takes/ energy. The standard central air works closer to how you are thinking by the evaporator above your furnace taking heat to then be dumped out by the condenser outside. This is necessary because it is a closed system that must continually reuse the refrigerant.
Sweat, and the swamp cooler you have here, are not closed systems and therefore don’t have to “dump” heat. Energy was transferred to the water molecules to cause them to evaporate. As latent heat exists (Google this if you are still confused) the heat energy has been transferred to “evaporation” energy and so the heat can be reduced without breaking any thermal laws.
Basically the water on your skin or in the swamp cooler is like a wall that heat has to break down. The heat can do this, and does get through but has been reduced by the work and is therefore less strong (lower temperature.
There was no subtraction or addition to total energy when you look at the whole process. Heat energy was transferred to kinetic energy to cause the state change of the water.
Central AC has to dump heat to reuse the refrigerant. The swamp cooler doesn’t have to dump heat but needs to be refilled often as the evaporation of water takes matter away from the system.
In case this shows up in anyone’s search,
It persisted for hours but a few hours and about five times reinstalling the app it started working again.
Using iPhone 13 Pro Max iOS 16.5.1 I have restarted my iPhone and also deleted and re added voyager to my Home Screen. The webpage in safari works but the Home Screen app shows “Safari can’t open the page because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server.”
There was a dollar amount I would’ve liked the Chiefs to sign him. But I knew that would be a vet looking for rings not money deal and it didn’t seem like it was what he was looking for.
And with Voyager it was just added.
Currently, if I’m browsing all and wish to block a community I have to click into the community, bring up the community feed and then block. If I could block a community from the three dots button in the post while still in the all view it would be amazing.
At this point Voyager is free and beyond my wildest expectations this early so I want to reiterate my appreciation for the work on the app and understanding if this isn’t a high priority feature. Thanks for everything so far just giving my feedback.
I love the new ability to filter communities and block users. Haven’t had to use it much yet but it was honestly the feature that made Apollo for me.
There are some topics/keywords that I just don’t care to come through my feed when browsing all.
Is it planned to add filters to words that appear in the title as well? Basically the same way filters worked on Apollo?
Thanks for all the hard work and for making the best new app of the year! I really think Voyager is going to be key to growing Lenny as a whole.
I've gathered a collection of the best charts the Chiefs' QB has ruined as he dominates the NFL in a hilariously visual way.

Is there a toprightmahomes on Lemmy yet?
It's been 141 days since the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 in Super Bowl 57. Both teams are roughly three weeks from opening trainin

Now that I (I think) understand federation I was going to unblock the beehaw communities since I should still be able to vote and comment on them but I can’t find them now.
I feel like I prefer my saved list to be private. Also I can’t seem to get confirmation on if up and down votes are public or not.

Maybe we can start aggregating all the team subs and getting a list of them all here? This way we can hopefully keep from splitting the community with duplicate team sites?
