So... it's been a while now since the great exodus. How are you all doing my fellow refugees? (kbin.social)

I made my home here permanently now. It seems like such a friendlier place but how are you all doing?

@HandsHurtLoL wait, are mods not meant to comment? I'm doing it wrong.

Edit: nvm, you're modding politics, I can see why you'd need to remain neutral for that.

Yeah, it's a 100% self-imposed moratorium just because I don't want to appear to have a modding bias. There was a period where I was trying to enliven the community by posting a few articles each day, especially from sources not submitted to our mirror community on lemmyworld, but then my real life job was draining my soul for 3 straight months, so that endeavor fell by the wayside. Also, unless it's an article dumping on one key player, our user base doesn't tend to comment on news articles. It's a weird phenomenon I've observed.

I will add though that my hobby communities that I belong to never make it to my feed, which seems to imply that those communities are stagnant, too. I would probably comment more in those spaces, but it's rare that new threads are created, I guess.

I wish you would comment. Contributors in the sub aren't following the rules very well. I contributed pretty often, however I've slacked off since the beginning of October. The Israel/Palestine conflict has really taken over my feed (as well as some Trek and Star Wars memes). Yet with the Middle East news it's been difficult posting for some reason. My activity has been diminished severely.

I still comment a fair bit just from sorting by all > new. But yeah we're still in the early days comment-wise. The magazine I created almost never gets any comments or posts but there are a few lurkers who upvote and it slowly grows.

I've recently taken on a couple that were stagnating due to absentee mods and it's going slowly, but I still think it's important for kbin to have our own chill communities on these topics rather than outsourcing it all to the lemmys.

You must be doing something right, because I'm pretty sure I noticed your mag in my feed the other day which made me realise it's active. (I contributed an article but unfortunately it's on NZ politics because that's the only one I follow)!
