Parents oughta be like: “Tell us more about these wall people!” and a couple hours later you got a film treatment like “Vengeance of the Wall People with their Eyes Always Open.”

I think you’re taking heat a little bit unfairly. This is, after all, the MILDLY infuriating community, and it can be a hassle when something stops working for you, even if it’s perfectly reasonable for it to happen.

I don’t understand everything on this chart, but it looks like sh.itjust.works lagged a bit over the past 24 hours and is now catching up.

dunno I don’t use mobile clients for piefed… I think there’s one but don’t know much about it.

Piefed is awesome. I really like Scheduled Posts, as well as Feeds (which are collections of communities). There are only a couple reasons why keep my lemmy.world account: uploading images in comments is difficult in piefed, and I don’t think piefed supports custom preview for youtube videos yet. But I imagine those will be fixed at some point in the near future.

Aw, even better. Did you bring anything back with you? You can say you raided the coast of England, Viking-style!

You shoulda taken a flag from your country and placed it in the ground, so you can say that you invaded England.

There are countless other ‘niche’ communities that have no posts for months, however.

Hey, have you seen !fedigrow@lemmy.zip? It’s got a lot of discussions on how to handle this.

I think that to grow a niche community, you need at least 2-3 regular posters, and you need to make posts that encourage discussion (i.e. ask questions or provoke a thoughtful reaction that readers would like to share.)

Also keep an eye on: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/stats A couple thousand people (and several communities) moved there after lemm.ee died, but we interact with lemmy.

As for why it subjectively seems to be declining… maybe you know what you’re gonna see in New, and so you engage less with posts? Maybe it’s time to be more of a poster!
