Missed opportunity to crop the meme and use one half for the post and the other half for the comment
I feel like this with my one member (me) magazine : https://kbin.social/m/AntKeeping
Me over at Destiny
Slowly getting more posters though!
In the same boat, realized now I’M responsible for content. Oh no.
Lol yeah i’ve done this. Made a post. Huh, only a title? Do I put the whole thing in? Fuck it lets go and see what happens. Then I don’t see it under New XD
Fun being in someplace new that’s for sure. New frontiers bois
Me over at [Destiny]https://www.lemmy.world/c/destiny)
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.
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]
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!
I feel this way too. ( btw yall should go check out @GirlGames and @girlyposting )
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.
Instance and server are interchangeable. Instances have multiple communities, as many as you want. Beehaw instance only has like 20 while Lemmy.world has hundreds. Starting a community on an existing server is filling out a form, basically signing up for a website. Starting an instance requires hardware, metal or cloud, some experience with server software and command line interfaces, and patience. Any Lemmy server can federate with all other servers so you can show up on my feed when I hit “all” instead of “local.” You can be defederated with for technically any reason by any server. It doesn’t happen often outside of beehaw and most of their defederation list is like Neo Nazi shit.
Don’t mind me… just talking to myself…

Surprise solipsism.
