The Last Kingdom.

I can't quite put my finger on it but the series really keeps me watching.

Seeing those references was very refreshing!

Flashback to when my sister in law had an electric car and felt compelled to plug it in at my place everytime she visited.

[Showcase Sundays] Truegaming: "For those who like talking about games as much as playing them" - July 9, 2023 (kbin.social)
submitted 1 year ago by patchw3rk@kbin.social to c/BestOf@kbin.social

In honor of communities throughout the Fediverse, @BestOf will be highlighting communities that distinguish themselves from others with the quality and value they bring to the Fediverse.

This week, we are happy to introduce TrueGaming!

!Truegaming
@Truegaming

Truegaming is a "deep-dive" community dedicated to thoughtful and in-depth discussions about all things gaming (i.e. video games, board games, and beyond).

The community values posts and comments that contribute to meaningful conversations, such as in-depth reviews, breaking down mechanics and narratives, and general exploration of game design and philosophy. Truegaming strives to provide an environment where gamers can engage in constructive debates, share their perspectives, and learn from others in the community.

should locking and forced "merger" of communities be allowed? in c/general@lemmy.world
[-] patchw3rk@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

As Moderator to !BestOf, this is my biggest fear. I've been working pretty extensively on this community in my spare time and I'm afraid that if the Moderators of r/BestOf decide to federate, we will lose. I'm not entirely nervous about fragmenting the community so much as just being r/LesserBestOf. By design, this community shouldn't really be fragmentated unless we decide to become BestOf something specific.

My Reddit Account got banned for the dumbest reason. in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world
[-] patchw3rk@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I've been on Reddit for like 12 years and I was never banned by an admin. The fact that you got banned twice is sus.

I did get banned from blackpeopletwitter for being white.

Honestly, I think it's important that people sub to all the same-subject communities across the Fediverse. However.. the only time it's really important to make the distinction is while creating a post. I hope we get the equivalent of 'multireddits' for all spaces with the same subject.

Here's What NASA Pays to Be Locked in a Mars Simulator for a Year (futurism.com)

Four individuals have agreed to be locked inside NASA's Mars simulator for just over a year. And they're being paid surprisingly little.

I'm SO excited that my community is finally growing organically! I just need to get it off my chest. in c/fediverse@kbin.social

@lob I'm not sure what that means. I don't see anything on my end.

What communities are or aren't visible across lemmy.world and kbin.social? in c/fediverse@kbin.social
[-] patchw3rk@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I also noticed that any moderation doesn't transfer between instances. I moderate @BestOf. I did remove one post for being irrelevant with the spirit of the community and it's still there on Lemmy. I hope this is something that can be fixed.

How do I give a community to another user? (kbin.social)
submitted 1 year ago by patchw3rk@kbin.social to c/kbinMeta@kbin.social
7 comments fedilink

When first logged into kbin, I noticed a lot of important communities were missing so I created a few in hopes of putting them in the right hands when things took off. I'm at about that point where I'm ready to give some because there's no way I can manage 5+ at the same time.

I have promoted some users to moderator, but how do I give them completely?

I'm the creator of @Bestof or !BestOf@kbin.social and I've been trying to grow the community for the last couple of weeks. It was an uphill battle as I could only get 5-10 members every day, sometimes even much less.

After finally hitting 100 subscribers yesterday, 200 subscribers this morning, and nearly at 300 subscribers this afternoon, I believe my community is really fruiting!

Thank you so much for your interest. I will do my best to manage this community and have it flourish. I can envision how fantastic it will be, and I hope it contributes to your enjoyment of the Fediverse!

BestOf Community created to represent the Fediverse. As the fediverse expands, the best content may become dispersed. This community will collect the most insightful posts and comments found on the Fe (lemmy.ca)

As moderator, we will let the community manage the content and decide what is worthy of the frontpage.

I understand the community looks empty on Lemmy, but I can assure you it's not. There must be an issue with the integration between kbin and lemmy, it should be fixed and the real numbers should come up eventually.

As the Fediverse expands, the best content will get harder to find. This community will server as an aggregator for the most noteworthy content on the Fediverse!

I have been trying to grow this community. I've made some good progress, but despite all that I'm still the sole contributor. What are some tricks to encourage others to post content?
