Hi all. I was excited when I saw a new Dead by Daylight community was created and I've been trying to post daily to get it going. Its not my community, but I would love to have a thriving Dead by Daylight community on the Fediverse.

Some Dead by Daylight game content can be mature in theme, and I marked some posts as NSFW because I thought they might be a bit borderline, but I also noticed those posts I did mark as NSFW saw almost no interaction. Not even from the community owner. I suspect the issue is the NSFW flag and I second guessed and removed it, but I wanted to hear perspectives from others on that. Is violent game content worth marking NSFW? Should I just wait and see if anybody is bothered? Does marking things NSFW limit their growth a great deal?

I'm attempted to MAYBE give a try running my own community which one of them would be for Gen-Z. My reason is the r/GenZ subreddit is badly moderated where there's a lot of bigotry and also bit of Generation-bashing which leads to stupid dramas. It would be in somewhat the format of like both causal conversation and any community/groups that talks about their nostalgia. I don't want any elitism about literally the year someone is born, just seems like a weird thing to act self-righteous about.

How do you handle politics? I tried to occasionally read up about politics but I'm not as up to date as I find if I read too much of it, it does affect my mental health for the worse. One thing I want for sure is to not make my community into a "Nazi Bar" but I'm not sure how good I am for spotting Nazis unless it the most well-known dogwistles. I know there's going to some stuff I don't agree with but it how do I know it's a red-flag that needs to be addressed and when it is just them having a different view.

I don't believe in banning politics for it unless there's bunch of people would prefer it and have a valid reason. I have some stuff I want to talk about which I say is somewhat political and want to say it to other Zoomers like me and talk about it like Job-search, money etc. Last thing I want to do is make it taboo to talk about it and give them a safe space to talk about it without feeling like someone would dismissed them.

Even a huge subreddit like r/games (17 year old community with 1.1 million weekly visitors) is still heavily carried by a single poster, Turbostrider27

Keep working on your Fediverse communities!

I've wanted to make this all month but wasnt sure if I needed to. Went ahead and pulled the trigger. If you've visited and liked traditional art recently, you'll love this.

Lemmy is great for tech, news, politics, and everyday discussion.

Sometimes it’s hard to find guides, wikis or links for deeper learning in areas outside of tech. Things you can learn from even when no one is posting.

Maybe we could share more of that kind of content. Simple guides, helpful links, or sticky posts with resources.

It could make communities more helpful for everyone, over time.

Just a small idea. Thanks for reading.

!shortstories@literature.cafe

Original content also shared here often. There is already a great archive at this point. Do check it out!

Blaze, if you see this, you ought to be enjoying your vacation :)

id like to not own any more communities so im trying to help others create ones

exactly im trying to have replacements for 2 communities

!calyxos@lemmy.ml - quiet community with posts once on a while, i own 2 other calyx communities (vpn and seedvault although the seedvault one is owned by my lemmy.wtf alt i still moderate it

!iceraven@lemmy.ml

• a no post community, would want support from the iceraven devs if possible.

As far as !fedigrow@lemme.zip is concerned, keeping track of this kind of milestone is helpful to build community.

And it's pretty exciting. We're up to 998 posts now. The first post was made July 9, 2023.

If you've ever thought about posting on !gothindustrial@lemmy.world, now's your chance! Make a post leading up to the 1,000th post, or make the kilopost yourself!!?!

Music, memes, videos, art, opinions, comics, etc. related to "Industrial, Goth, EBM, Darkwave, Coldwave, Horror Punk, Aggrotech, Noise; Treating the labels with very broad strokes" are all welcome!

(Technical Note: your community may have a different number for how many posts are on this community... like on piefed.social it only says "542 posts" because piefed.social didn't exist when the first couple hundred posts were made on !gothindustrial@lemmy.world ... but on https://lemmy.world/c/gothindustrial this is post number 993!)

practical healthspan community introductory pinned post

Welcome to Practical Healthspan

Live long and prosper.

Hey — I’m glad you’re here. Practical Healthspan is a space to talk about health in the everyday: better sleep, food that works for you, moving a bit (or a lot), managing stress, staying connected, and trying small experiments. No hype. No pressure. Just what works, backed by science when possible, and real stories when not.

What to expect

• Friendly, curious vibes. We ask questions, share what we try, and learn together.
• When we talk about studies or protocols, we label what kind of evidence it is. If it’s your experiment, we say so.
• Be respectful. Critique ideas, not people. No “one-right way” energy.
• We’re not medical advice. If something’s serious, talk to actual professionals.

If you’re new to the Fediverse / Lemmy please check out some of the links in the community description

Weekly threads you’ll see

• Motivation Monday – What are you focusing on this week, health-wise?
• Study Sunday – We dig into a research paper, pull out takeaways, and a small practical nudge.
• Habit Check-In – Mid-week or end-of-week: what habits worked, what didn’t, what you’ll tweak.
• Food-Prep Friday – Share recipes, meal ideas, what’s helping you eat better without stressing.
• Tools & Gadgets – If you tried a new sleep tracker, app, kitchen gear, etc., share what worked or was meh.
• Reflection Friday – What experiments or changes you tried this week, what surprised you, what next.

Quick rules (so we all feel good here)

1. Be kind. Ideas over insults. No shaming someone’s body, food, choices.
2. If you’re making claims, try to provide sources. If it’s from personal experience, label it.
3. No medical advice. If you are discussing medication, serious health conditions, etc., recommend professional help.
4. Disclose conflicts / affiliations (if you’re selling something, promoting something, etc.).
5. No spam. Keep the vibes helpful.
