    I’m surprised that !buyeuropean@feddit.uk gets so many comments, so doing good!

    !sillydrawingrequests@sopuli.xyz also has nice small but active community feeling. Loving the submissions and always look forward to every single one.

    Took over !languagelearning@sopuli.xyz together with @fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com who also had a good idea with weekly discussion thread (which Blaze already kinda started). Looking at the user count I believe people are eager to join in on the conversation.

      Hello :D buyeuropean seems great, i think i’ll make a post there (despite not being euro x)) and sillydrawingrequests is a fun community, though it’s small. I love languages and hope languagelearning will grow (has good-ish activity for a comm that was pretty dead

    Same song as usual for me: we get new members joining !journaling@sh.itjust.works. Knowing how niche that topic could be considered, I’m very happy about that. That said, there is still not much participation, even to ask questions or I don’t know to share pictures.

    Tomorrow, I’ll post the 3rd issue of the [Weekly Thread] discussion. I have prepared the new thumbnail I share with you (in an exclusive world premiere, you’re welcome). I have no idea if that kind of silly thing encourage people to participate, or if it’s dissuasive. Feel free to let me know what you think. Maybe tomorrow someone will raise their voice in the community to complain about my stupid sense of humor.That would be something :p

    we’ve got a couple regulars posting on !chronicillness@lemmy.world so we get atleast two posts a week nearly no matter what which is cool.

    I don’t think we need to force ourselves to be more active than that. Threads that get big on our community attract a lot of non-disabled people who say discriminatory stuff and it becomes a moderation headache.

    The comm was intended as a support group but sometimes becomes a sort of debate group when non-disabled people try to share their “views” on our disabilities. So those big threads may not really be serving their purpose.

    @bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de is really carrying it with their weekly threads.

      That is the most annoying thing, when people crash into spaces and say horrible things and then try to force you to accept it and make you look like the bad guy by saying “they will not listen to differing views, it’s an echo chamber!”

      I am open to differing views but in views like “the Nazis were bad” or “2+2=4” it should be an echo chamber of consensus… you should not have to accept the “differing view” of “you all got your chronic illnesses through being horrible people, and if you are an angel now, well actually no I’ll just make up stuff to prove why you deserve it.” There are legitimate but uncomfortable differing views, and there is cruel insanity trying to force someone acting in good faith to accept the view under usual good-faith principles for non-insane views.

      I am glad you at least have some kind of support group going on.

    !soulslike@lemmy.zip is doing pretty fine all things considered. Most memes do fine and invite some discussion, some posts don’t do as well. The community doesn’t post that much by themselves, so around 98% of posts are from me. I don’t mind too much as long as I get to talk to people about stuff, but I’d love it if the community were a little more active. Around 1000 monthly users is pretty good, I think
