!fedigrow@lemm.ee has a weekly thread on "How are you doing with your communities?" In it, several of the people who keep niche communities alive (usually through regular posting) talk about their challenges and successes.

You can usually find an invidious instance if you look through redirect.invidious.io. For example, if I try the servers for https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=aQsWzL7_RiI the 6th one down currently works.

"Apophallated" is now in my vocabulary of insults. (To be used with caution: if they reply "Don't kink shame" then I instantly lose.)

cut back on sugar

One type of snack/dessert I do: get a slice of high-fiber bread (toasted, or not), and put a bit of honey or jam on it. Much better than a pastry, bc I can control exactly how much sugar is there.

Along with those already mentioned, my personal heroes are people who keep communities alive:

@MrSebSin@sh.itjust.works posts comics daily to !garfield@lemmy.world and others

@perishthethought@lemm.ee keeps !fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee going

@JohnnyEnzyme@lemm.ee posts regularly about !eurographicnovels@lemm.ee

@clark@midwest.social has been killing it on !truecomics@midwest.social

This would be great for people who are fall risks.

Hey, what happened to that? People were pondering like mad just a couple days ago, but all of a sudden it stopped.

On !fedigrow@lemm.ee there's a weekly thread called "How are you doing with your communities?" It's for/by all the people who single-handedly keep niche communities alive by posting regularly. It can be a tough job, and easy to burn out. That's because of the relatively small population here on Lemmy.

However, I agree that I like the culture here better. On Reddit, even when I blocked ads I still felt like I was being marketed to and manipulated.

"Part of Reach"

Even if Reddit works at the moment, it might not soon, as they are enshittifying at a very rapid pace.

The article doesn't say what type of testing they did. Clearly it wasn't enough.

!truecomics@midwest.social - Examples of and discussions on the classic “The Outbursts of Everett True” 2-panel comics from the early 1900s, in which a portly man objects violently to everyday wrongdoing. This has been taking off recently.

!fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee - free movies on legit sites. Going strong.

Don't be foolin. That's obviously avocado toast you got hidden back there.

In the US, enforcement and legality varies by state/jurisdiction:

Usually the talks are just an advertisement for the paper. The real value of in-person conferences is meeting your peers and talking about your field in less-formal settings i.e. during the dinner and breaks.

btw if you're a student, see if there are any student organizations to join, especially if they do workshops or research tracks at a conference, it's a great way to build a network.

Better lore than "Inside Out".
