Trying my best to keep casual HistoryLemmy alive. Sometimes I get contributors with great stuff in HistoryPorn, but I'm almost entirely alone in HistoryArtifacts, HistoryIllustrations, HistoryRuins, and HistoryMemes.

To discuss how to grow and manage communities / magazines on Lemmy, Mbin, Piefed and Sublinks
!Historymemes@lemmy.world
Drive by negativity for niche communities can have a outsized chilling effect, moderation tools to help the smaller discussions grow would be useful here too.
I guess that's the downside of being able to land on all with a topic posted to a niche community, which basically would never happen on reddit.
I'm pretty comfy and nappy on my two kbin / mbin magazines ( @fakemon@fedia.io and @pokemonfanfiction@fedia.io ), waiting for people to arrive. Yeah, unfortunately they are like three or four layers deep within "niche of a niche of a niche of..." but what'ya gonna do? it's the stuff that interests me that doesn't already have tons of people going about it already (hi, Linux communities!).
Good luck with those!
Are there active generic Pokemon communities on Lemmy/Mbin? I think I've never seen any
Danke!
I know there are a few generic Pokémon communities on lemmy. !pokemon@lemmy.ml is the one I see more content in but 80% of the time is just news announcements. We do have !pokemon@lemm.ee at home, too! And there's communities for Pokémon on both kbin.social and lemmy.world but they seem to be having federation issues (or I am), as I can't see full threads / posts from most of my instances, instead having to visit them directly.
