    I tried to keep a few communities that I made going, but I’ve burned out on my hobby and haven’t found anything else worth posting. It can definitely be draining.

    Honestly, my favorite part of running a community is when a new face joins and posts something they like. It doesn’t matter if their posts don’t look like mine. Other people’s posts make me feel like I’m not just posting into the void.

    It definitely feels like the community has gained some kind of traction.

    Also is Catbox working for you? I’ve not been able to access it for weeks.

    Yeah, it’s a good feeling.

    I was keeping !noyank@lemmy.ml going for months, now I just check in every so often, and there’s starting to be conversations there, and it’s almost at 300. It’s not the most active community in the 'verse, but it is active. Cheers to Emperor and velox vulnus for contributing

      On worries - I try and pick up on media that doesn’t come from the US as it keeps things interesting (even if the most engagement comes from American blockbusters), so happy to cross-post there too.

      As a Yank myself, I actually appreciate that community. Lemmy and Mbin have worldly, logical arguments that wouldn’t get far on an American social media echo chamber. If the rest of the world doesn’t make themselves heard loud and clear, civilization will collapse.

      Nice community, I remember seeing it a while back. Good to make the exercise to remember how prevalent US culture can be in other countries.
