I feel like this with my one member (me) magazine : https://kbin.social/m/AntKeeping

In the same boat, realized now I'M responsible for content. Oh no.

Me over at Destiny

Slowly getting more posters though!

Hoping these don't go the Google+ route but then again, most things from Google are canned.

Surprise solipsism.

What‘s the community?

I‘m new too and on kbin and gotta say, I don‘t even know where I am half the time, but excited to be here anyway.

It's for the clothing brand Supreme. https://lemmy.world/c/supreme

I really enjoyed reddit's niche fashion subs and trying to recreate some of that over here. Was a consistent reddit poster but went cold turkey on reddit and doing my posting here now

[–] LostCause@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ahh I know of it, but too expensive for me. Anyway I am happy to have you and I do hope that such a fashion community can grow here too. Streetwear and fashion advice has inspired me before to try different things.

I know this is old but in case you haven't found it yet: !streetwear@lemmy.world

Not OP but... I just recently created https://kbin.social/m/Fedquestions for questions about how the fediverse works on a technical level. So far I have three subscribers including me, but one of them really helped out on my only question so far!

[–] dakar@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

I'm in the same situation, I've made m/rhythmgames with also 3 subscribers, no responses yet but still better than being on reddit!

Me liking my kbin comment with my lemmy world account.

Infinite like glitch.

[–] Grimlo9ic@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It do be like that.

c/memes aside, I remember starting my own webforum on InvisionFree in 2006. Place was a barren wasteland, but in fairness it was for a very specific niche game at the time (Armored Core) and the target market was also tiny (players in the Philippines). Lo and behold, one by one people came. 17 years and a lot of host and software migrations later, that forum is still standing.

If you build it, they will come. Eventually.

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

Armoured core was great, unfortunately I was too busy picking flax on Runescape in 2006 so never found your forum.

[–] MiddleWeigh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Spent my childhood carrying out my dream as a coal miner, how romantic.

Which community did you make?

It's for the clothing brand Supreme. https://lemmy.world/c/supreme

[–] webghost0101@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am actually kinda curious on this. How does one effectively start a community? Whats the difference between a community an instance and a server?

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

A community is just that, a community. It's analogous to a subreddit, if you're familiar with reddit. One can start a community by clicking "Create Community" at the top of the Lemmy webpage on your instance. This community will be hosted on your instance, say you create a community for dogs, the community would be !dogs@lemmy.fmhy.ml.

Your instance can be compared to a email provider. The instance is hosted on a server, as in you connect to a server which has set up the Lemmy software, which connects to the ActivityPub protocol. The ActivityPub protocol is what enables kbin or Mastodon users to interact with communities here.

Compare this to email, where an email provider (say Gmail) is hosted on a server, which you connect to. If done via a web browser, the server will direct you to their web app (the interface you use on gmail.com) which connects to the SMTP (which is the protocol that handles email).

Just like how I can receive your email sent from Gmail on my Yahoo account, we can interact in communities together despite having signed up on different instances.
