Interesting. This might be due to each post over at r/my have automod linked to this server, and there's no news over there. I have a feeling once monday is here we will see a stagnant growth of new user and the active user might drop a bit lower than yesterday, as everything went back to normal. Not helping the retention is Lemmy is such a pita to use sometimes, and right now we're basically duplicate of r/my, r/msians, r/mhp, and r/mpf combined, so it's hard to retaining active user for longer than 2 days, since they have larger audience back there.

So is there any direction you want this server to take? As far as i'm concern i'm in for a long haul. Feels like this could be so much more than the direction Reddit is taking.

Also hmm back on retention –

I'm wondering what we can do to keep a candle burning over here when the main sub comes back online. Would love to hear ideas.
So far, the best idea I have is that there is content we can offer here which is hard to get on r/my
Chinese / Tamil / Jawi language support is definitely one thing. But I'm not sure what else at this stage.
Maybe we can point people here for specialised content which we're normally forced to remove, such as job boards, buying and selling, dating, promoting local arts and business...

Hmmmm. Perhaps we should start a discussion post for this meta / strategy stuff somewhere, and put it on the sidebar.

It's going to be tough doing it. HP did it very well for /r/Malaysians. I believe she did it by organizing events. If this site has the tools similar to reddit, tapping into existing mod team's experience, there should be a way to continue sustaining life.

Btw, this server is paid? Wondering since we have our own domain name.

Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.
