I feel like this with my one member (me) magazine : https://kbin.social/m/AntKeeping
Missed opportunity to crop the meme and use one half for the post and the other half for the comment
In the same boat, realized now I’M responsible for content. Oh no.
Me liking my kbin comment with my lemmy world account.
That feels dirty
Infinite like glitch.
What‘s the community?
I‘m new too and on kbin and gotta say, I don‘t even know where I am half the time, but excited to be here anyway.
Not OP but… I just recently created https://kbin.social/m/Fedquestions for questions about how the fediverse works on a technical level. So far I have three subscribers including me, but one of them really helped out on my only question so far!
I’m in the same situation, I’ve made m/rhythmgames with also 3 subscribers, no responses yet but still better than being on reddit!
It’s for the clothing brand Supreme. https://lemmy.world/c/supreme
I really enjoyed reddit’s niche fashion subs and trying to recreate some of that over here. Was a consistent reddit poster but went cold turkey on reddit and doing my posting here now
Ahh I know of it, but too expensive for me. Anyway I am happy to have you and I do hope that such a fashion community can grow here too. Streetwear and fashion advice has inspired me before to try different things.
I know this is old but in case you haven’t found it yet: [email protected]
If anyone is interested in Chainsaw Man I have made a community for it :)
Me over at Destiny
Slowly getting more posters though!
It do be like that.
c/memes aside, I remember starting my own webforum on InvisionFree in 2006. Place was a barren wasteland, but in fairness it was for a very specific niche game at the time (Armored Core) and the target market was also tiny (players in the Philippines). Lo and behold, one by one people came. 17 years and a lot of host and software migrations later, that forum is still standing.
If you build it, they will come. Eventually.
Armoured core was great, unfortunately I was too busy picking flax on Runescape in 2006 so never found your forum.
Spent my childhood carrying out my dream as a coal miner, how romantic.
Don’t mind me… just talking to myself…

Surprise solipsism.
I am actually kinda curious on this. How does one effectively start a community? Whats the difference between a community an instance and a server?
A community is just that, a community. It’s analogous to a subreddit, if you’re familiar with reddit. One can start a community by clicking “Create Community” at the top of the Lemmy webpage on your instance. This community will be hosted on your instance, say you create a community for dogs, the community would be [email protected].
Your instance can be compared to a email provider. The instance is hosted on a server, as in you connect to a server which has set up the Lemmy software, which connects to the ActivityPub protocol. The ActivityPub protocol is what enables kbin or Mastodon users to interact with communities here.
Compare this to email, where an email provider (say Gmail) is hosted on a server, which you connect to. If done via a web browser, the server will direct you to their web app (the interface you use on gmail.com) which connects to the SMTP (which is the protocol that handles email).
Just like how I can receive your email sent from Gmail on my Yahoo account, we can interact in communities together despite having signed up on different instances.
