[Monthly thread] Manual hobbies active communities

!bikewrench@lemmy.world
!woodworking@lemmy.ca
One of my favorites
Going to give !balconygardening@slrpnk.net a shoutout I guess, even though those bastards hated my (shit)post about raising pigeons on my balcony, that made me delete the post and unsubscribe from the community, haha.
Well, you don't show them in the best light ha ha
Maybe !plantid@mander.xyz fits into this as well.
It does, but I try to mostly list communities with at least 1 post in the last week, this one hasn't been active for a month
Right, forgot about that. Sadly I feel that this is a little bit too strict for Lemmy niche topics. To me that community is at least healthy looking, it has regular posts created by different users, and all get replies by different users. But it is quite low traffic, sure.
I thought about it as a way to encourage communities members to post at least once a week. Can even just be a scheduled discussion thread, the objective is to keep it active.
And if even once a week is not doable, then maybe it's time to consider consolidating with a more active community on the same topic?
Yeah I see that differently. To me these forced posts for the sake of posting something, that are all being created by the same people are not necessarily that appealing to me, they don't give me the impression that there is an actual community interested in the topic, you know? It's kinda obvious that it's really more "pretend active".
While the plantid one, it seems like there is a community there, they just don't post much, because there just aren't that many people on Lemmy that have plantid questions. The community actually has a purpose and direction, it is active if activated and it gives good answers.

2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.
Formatting
Please include this following format in your post:
[link text](/c/community@instance.com)
This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't
You should also include either:
or instance.com/c/community
FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
