Lets bring some positivity to people you might see around a lot and generally praise them for making good contributions to the platforms growth!

I really enjoy seeing @Blaze@sopuli.xyz around a lot and @ShittyKopper@lemmy.blahaj.zone, they aren't the only ones I appreciate but they are the first that come to mind. I also appreciate @MicroWave@lemmy.world and their news posts a lot. I like being kept in the loop and the articles they curate seem to always be really high quality.

Great post, and thank you for noticing me! (sopuli.xyz used to me my main account, but now I use this one, heads up to the instance admin, he's doing a great job!)

I really like @freamon@endlesstalk.org 's work on !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl

I hadn't noticed @MicroWave@lemmy.world in a while, but I just noticed that it's because I blocked most of the news communities, and that he's mostly active there. I used to read his Fediverse growth posts.

@simple@lemm.ee makes nice posts too.

@rikudou@lemmings.world , especially for their work on !schedule@lemmings.world

I'm limiting myself to posters, but I would say that all the instance admins I've seen are very nice people overall. Thank you a lot guys, without you none of this would exist!

Same here, this thing is a light in the infinity of the lemmyverse ha ha

[–] quinacridone@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thanks for this!

I subbed yesterday and just had a browse, I'm glad that my posting on my somewhat niche communities does actually do something for visibility

edit just found this strange place via Trending Communities oddlyspecificplaylists@sh.itjust.works

[–] MicroWave@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

MicroWave here. Yeah, I gradually switched over to posting news when lemmy.world reached 100k users. I remember that was one of the ways reddit and digg grew in their infancy, so I wanted to try to replicate that.

Thanks, I'm glad you find it useful!

@pugjesus@lemmy.world (I think) has excellent tastes In memes.

@treevan@aussie.zone is a wealth of information for all thing environment

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey, thanks for the shout-out! Happy to entertain! pugjesus@kbin.social is my main, but Kbin has been giving me trouble the past few days so I've been posting from my lemmy.world account, lol

[–] AmberPrince@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I also enjoy the good work you've been doing and will be watching your career with great interest.

Oh you, tee hee hee.

Hardly, though. I have an ability to inefficiently find and check websites that are related to Australian environment news and then repost articles to the void.

It's not much but it's pointless work.

I think @MicroWave@MicroWave@lemmy.world and @YoBuckStopsHere@YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world are basically the only reasons c/Politics got off the ground. Really appreciate their work.

[–] MicroWave@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Wow, thanks for the recognition, TurboDiesel@lemmy.world!

[–] MicroWave@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Appreciate the recognition, @gabe@literature.cafe! I'm glad you find my posts useful.

I'd say @Joph@programming.dev for regularly posting in the very small Haxe community. Thank you Joph!

[–] Joph@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago

You just brightened my day. Thanks for the shoutout.

[–] OberonSwanson@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have to say, that @OberonSwanson@sh.it just.works fellow, seems like a really swell guy!

You're only guilty of being a good bean :)

@LettuceTurnipTheBeet@lemm.ee always brings good posts and makes the extra effort.
