So im pretty new here, I come from reddit because i got fed up with reddit but i do miss some community’s. Ive thought about “cloning” them on lemmy but in my own way im just not sure if i have the time or patience to focuse on one.
What would you advise? Do i go for it? People who have community’s what’s it like?
I agree with the people urging you to do your best to take care of your sublemmy once you create it. On top of that, I also feel that most types of communities need you and/or others to be motivated promoters and content creators, even if you’re just pulling ‘best of’ content from elsewhere.
So-- IMO it’s generally best to think of it as a volunteer job. And from what I’ve seen, most community founders don’t necessarily realise that, and aren’t actually up to the task, hence the # of abandoned subs across the FV (fediverse).
IME one thing that really helps with growing subscribers is that due to the current size of the FV, almost any small community posting content on a regular basis is going to be seen by a fairly large proportion of the FV via the “ALL” feed. Whereas for example, that’s almost impossible on Reddit. It really helps!
