Last week really flew by, jeez.
Instance Growth
crazypeople.online continues to grow at a steady pace. We seem to be attracting a mix of reddit refugees, newer lemmy users, and some alts/established users. We added some additional resources to the server yesterday to keep things running smoothly as more people join and expand our reach.
Community Growth
Activity is up, and we even had a local user spin up a community this week. Great stuff for our little place. Here's what the numbers say-
!weedtime@crazypeople.online moves into the top spot this week. Now over 220 subscribers, this communitiy has grown by 20+ subscribers yet again. With 4/20 fast approaching I'm hopeful we'll see a surge in user activity here soon too.
!eternalplaylist@crazypeople.online slides to second place this week. Subscriber growth was in the single digits this week but overall activity is way up as new people have started sharing the music they're jamming. If you're looking for a place to share or discover a wide range of music, this is it.
!loweffortmemes@crazypeople.online grew by about 10 subscribers this week. The content here is fairly sporadic as there are just a couple of us posting whenever the mood strikes. There are definitely more people on lemmy with ideas for lazy memes. Don't be shy!
!pokemonTCGM@crazypeople.online also grew by about 10 subscribers this week. The trade posts have been helping players grab the cards they need each week and we've been developing some friendly rivalries about silly in game mechanics. @Blaze@HalfTheFediverse.lol (kidding @Blaze@lemmy.zip) has been sharing some of the artwork from the TCG for us to get our hopes up about what we might see added in the future, and others have been sharing their pulls and picks too. If you play this game and you aren't part of our community you're missing out IMO.
!autoracing@crazypeople.online is nearing 60 subscribers. If you're into racing you might find some of the posts interesting, but the series and events being posted are somewhat irregular. More content is always welcomed!
Thanks to everyone who's checking us out and engaging with our communities. Looking forward to what the future holds for our space!
@sunoc@sh.itjust.works, I just noticed you mod !ptcgp@sh.itjust.works, would it make sense to try to regroup on !pokemonTCGM@crazypeople.online ?
Yes, indeed it would be better to have all the activity on the same page. I'm not sure how such a merge should happen. I guess I can just lock the community and put a pin message asking to use pokemoTCGM instead. Is there a way to migrate the posts from ptcgp to pokemoTCGM?
Posts cannot be moved, but locking and redirecting is usually the way to go. See !football@lemmy.world or !television@lemmy.world for examples
Got it. Thanks for the examples, I'll do something similar!
Great, thanks!
Nice one ha ha
