Imagine if everyone who made this kind of post, made a post on their fav niche sub instead.
This dude has done a lot to populate the community he's promoting with content. He's the only contributor so far
literally this. i see a lot of mods of niche communities working their ass off trying to generate content with 0 help, including me. and all people do is complain that they aren’t doing enough, it’s not active enough, while doing nothing to help it grow.
be the change you want to see. contribute to your communities, especially niche ones.
I would like to do this but I’m basically a waste of space, and not really capable of either thought provoking questions or funny/engaging content for the things I want to be part of. I can engage with others, but I’m not unique or creative enough for starting the conversation (same in person actually).
I know this because I tried several times many years ago to run my own Facebook pages for… well I tried various things and got very little engagement on any of it when Facebook pages were peak social media.
I know random facts about random science things that most people don’t understand (I probably don’t either, but I think I do!), but nothing that would actually grow any of the communities I’d like to see grow.
So while it is exactly that easy, it’s not necessarily that easy.
I told my friend about your community. Also the whole infosec instance since he does infosec, and that seems like it might be a good local feed.. idk if it’s up his alley, but hopefully!
It’s well beyond me, sadly :(
Electronics/maker stuff welcome?
Awesome! I'm clawing back more time from work and working towards some open source hardware and software stuff. Will be fun to post once I have things underway. Mostly, I'm aiming at free and open FPGA libraries and actually useful AR/mobile computing stuff that fits in with the positive technological side of cyberpunk, rather than the dystopian. Absolutely want to dig into doing LoRa at some point as well, myself.
EDIT: Just realized that I misread the community name but, I'm still into it.
Solarpunk for tech? I dig it. I followed the community, you seem to really care about it, and while I don’t understand a lot of what you posted, I dig it.
I’ll try to participate when I can, but I can’t promise a whole lot. :)
Ugh. Fine. The whole concept is very idealistic. But I subscribed any way, because your right. I might learn a thing.
Wouldn't fix the problem, the reality is that we're not many enough. We could grow tenfold and still not be many enough.
You are right. Back to Reddit...we tried.
