Kbin and Lemmy are growing rapidly. Ladt week, Lemmy had 50 000 users, today it has 150 000!
However, this is still to small for nishe communities (I moderate two of these - Serbia and Cooperatives). My advice - keep at it. People will come!
I love that it’s not slowing down.
I deleted my Reddit app(to stop habit browsing) and am now using Mlem(via TestFlight) and the only way I’m finding communities is by going through the all tab and refinding communities I joined in Reddit so if they keep posting then I might find one of the communities I was previously subbed to.
Keep throwing that shit friend! Some of us are just still figuring out how to use this damned website lmao
Same, I’m posting regularly to my favourite football club’s community even though it’s pretty empty. Doesn’t matter, I’d like to think if another fan was looking it up, they’d be happy to have found a community with at least one contributing member, lol
I’m not really into Marvel anymore, but please continue posting. There are too few people here yet but diligence will help these places grow. It’s like the mod of /r/disney said on Kbin. A subreddit of 500k people like Disney only generated a few dozen posts a day. It’s difficult to start from scratch but we need people like you!
Keep at it!
I think you‘ll have to be patient. It takes time for people to discover your community
To answer your initial question: I do like Marvel comics, but I’ve always found comics in general very difficult to follow, especially on a budget. For instance, one of my old favorite storylines was the Phalanx Covenant story. But it jumped around between like six different publications spread out over gods only know how much time. All of a sudden I can’t find a copy of whatever the next two or three are because they’re in series nobody near me has ever heard of… It’s just agonizing.
And it sucks because I often enjoy the characters, the writing, the action. It’s all fun and engaging even just dipping my toes in once in a while. So it’s even worse that following any of it deliberately is like trying to follow a favorite TV show that keeps getting rescheduled and jumps to a new network every third season.
