Just my personal experience, but I do feel like people have been a lot quicker to be snippy and not as nice and welcoming these last two weeks or so compared to a 2 months ago when I first got here.

Did you link to the wrong post?

Yes you are correct. Thank you for the clarification.

Alright so isn't that my exact point of what I am asking? I am trying to get communities engaged and interesting and asking what people do to help with that.

Crap totally didn't realize I was only looking at the .ml rules and not the community rules. Thanks for that.

Rule 3 is no porn? How does this violate that?

Because they are basically dead? What is the point of an instance if there is never anything there? If nothing was ever posted here would you be coming go look at asklemmy?

Anecdotal, but I think true happiness comes with acceptance, self reflection, and perspective. First you need to be happy with yourself, and if you aren't you need to work to improve yourself to a point where you are. Once you are accepting of yourself you can be happy with and for others. People need to stop comparing their lives to someone else's. If you truly know yourself and understand what you really want from life and what is really important to you it is much easier to be happy.

The only issue with the smaller space is the niche instances. One of the things I loved about reddit was finding communities for hobbies and interests. With something small you are sometimes lucky to have 20 people in an instance and then even less posting or engaging with content.

The stronger workers rights are, the better everything will start to get for everyone.

So basically that new anime Zom 100...https://myanimelist.net/anime/54112/Zom_100__Zombie_ni_Naru_made_ni_Shitai_100_no_Koto

I feel like this discussion is a very chicken and the egg type. A dead instance with no posts won't attract new people, so you have bots start the discussion with new posts. If the instance is too flooded with new topics you never get users engaged and the instance looks just as dead. The NBA instances have been talking about this. Right now bots do a new post for every game thread, but there are not enough active users to have discussion on all of them. So really it's a pick your poison.

Personally I think the fediverse needs some other kind of unique "gimmick" to draw your more average user in/away from reddit other than "we are the decentralized reddit alternative." I couldn't tell you what that is, but the average person probably doesn't care about the reasons that brought us here, so there needs to be something else to draw them in until instances become more full and engaged.

Someone should remind Floridians they live in a post birth abortion state since they allow the death penalty.

There is always that one friend scheming and on the hustle.

Something about old memes were just the right amount of dumb to be really funny

Damn, really going back in internet history. Pretty soon well be back to rage comics, and I'm here for all of it!

Well I guess that makes sense as to why the stories seemed so disjointed lol. Thanks for the clarification.

it was a sad day when the O Rly owl died irl

I don't think I ever played the advanced ones. Tactics 2 is the one with the book and the kid in detention and the ending is basically it was all dream.

Don't be fooled and just get 2 though. While not a bad game 1 is so much better
