Fair enough, sounds good. I do think that's a lot of posts for a short amount of time, you're diluting your commentators.

Did you try reporting the comments or asking to be moderator on any of the existing communities?

The picture is Gnome 1.0

Ah I had never seen it before lol, it looks a lot like Windows 95 to me. I thought it was a Win95 theme for Linux and I was gonna ask where you got it from. I made my own Win 95/98/ME themes so I was curious.

Yeah.. Need to get people to join a bit first imho. Also, part of the issue with a lot of the communities is that they're mostly dead I find. The discussions aren't really driving them to consistency. Like even c/linux on lemmyworld has 20k subscribers, but only seems to get maybe 2 posts a day (including news).

And there is so much happening in the linux world consistently.

But yeah, original gnome was a bit clunky even compared to Windows 95. But, even xfree86 (which predates Xorg) required manual setup of hardware, didn't have compositing, etc.

Compositing in Xorg and the Xorg fork changed EVERYTHING, as it even added auto detection of hardware.

IMO comments are more important than posts, so fewer posts are better because it means the commentors get funneled in together better, and it doesn't hog my subscribed feed as much
