The context I was trying to show that growing a community with continuous progress is different than taking a community that is shrinking, stopping the shrinking, and then causing positive growth.

I agree with this, but I think many subscribers are from accounts that are no longer active.

I appreciate all you admins here, I really do. Far more transparent than from Reddit and you do it all without making profit.

The pinned post to Lemmy World sounded like (to me) that you recognize a lot of people signed up, made communities, and then have abandoned Lemmy leaving a lot of ghost communities that you all want to clean up. Totally understandable, especially with all the legal considerations about leaving online spaces unmoderated.

It just got me thinking about how Lemmy has changed, and how I really want it to succeed. I can try and follow this suggestion, but I almost feel like for a lot of the more niche interests, Lemmy will sort of just be in a holding mode until Reddit inevitably fumbles the ball again leading to a new migration, this time with a more clear destination.

Yeah I figured go/baduk would be a hard community to start, which is one of the reasons I chose the Chiefs.

But this isn’t just the difficulty of growing a community from a small start, this is seeing a community grow then shrink. Going through many niche communities the post rate and comment rate seems down across the board, outside of the biggest communities on the site. Combatting a shrinking community seems even more difficult than growing from a small start.

Thank you so much! Yes please keep me posted!

Not OP but a mod at KC Chiefs. If you do get the bot running and are wanting to share I would be very grateful for not access. Totally understand if that’s not something you are wanting to do tho.

Exciting! Is there a way for individual team subs to get access to the bot?

Which works out great for the Chiefs and their fans, as we get another year of “they doubted us” bulletin material.

That would be amazing! Thank you very much for your reply and offer to help! Please let me know when it’s ready.

Hi I’m a mod at Kansas City Chiefs who’s never made a auto-moderator bot or anything like it. Any tips on how where I should start?

Hiya! Game threads are really what I would appreciate the most.

Also, as a mod of !kansascitychiefs, how are you guys making game threads? Do they have to be manually made each time?
