how have you been keeping your communities active since the Reddit API migration died down? (lemmynsfw.com)

At this point, we’re beyond the big wave of new users in early- to mid-June with the protests against Reddit’s API policies. (I was one of them!). There was lots of enthusiasm, a bunch of new communities, and lots of posts.

But it seems like a lot of the activity is dying down. How are you (and your communities) doing? How have you been keeping your communities active?

It's mostly me posting in [email protected], with votes on the posts being either on the cusp of or just barely into double digits for a 400-ish subscriber community.

Yup! That describes my experiences with [email protected] . And I try to post to other communities that I want to see active but it’s hella slow going.

I tried to enable the horny posters by writing post titles as questions, which usually works great on reddit. The most engagement I get on here is “you didn’t include source on this one” 😅

Yeah, that sounds about right. FWIW the original paizuri sub (which I don't moderate) barely has any comments even on its biggest posts in the past year, so it's not like I'm doing much worse. 😋

I just want other people to post so I can add to my own collection. For now, I'm just rediscovering things I've downloaded or artists I should be following, but it'd be better to get from others too.
