Just curious. I miss mainly language stuff, some video game communities (like RoN, KCD) and some local communities like for Arabs (tbf those were always cesspits but I miss talking to other Arabs on Lemmy)
I’ll try to be the change I want to see. How about you?
You must log in or # to comment.
There are some great communities of obsessive hobbyists here like !Selfhosted@lemmy.world, and if you throw a brick in any direction you’ll hit two Linux nerds, but reddit has /r/sysadmin and other infosec groups that have large numbers of industry professionals - and no amount of enthusiasm can substitute for real-world experience. I miss the conversation from people who spend time writing system security plans, reading NIST documentation for guidance, thinking about remote management for networks that support thousands of end users, and who have to actually deal with the cybersecurity incidents that get reported in the news.
Writing prompts. It’s here, but it’s unpopulated. Tbf the Reddit one wasn’t super populated either, but that’s where I did a lot of my reading.
Interesting, never heard of it. Though that content sounds like it takes effort which only a select couple of users would exert.
The type of person commenting there ideally wants most eyes to see their work, so I think it could do well even with a small community of commenters, it used to be really fun when it was just everyone giving it a go and not professional authors who are bored.
Well both the mods of !writingprompts@lemmy.world and !writingprompts@literature.cafe are inactive, so if one of you were interested you could take up moderating it ;)
Not inactive, just not active active. There’s never anything to moderate, and I’m not prone to doing my writing on lemmy these days. Character limits make it somewhat annoying to fit things in. I favor longer fiction than I used to, particularly back on reddit. Since this account is exclusively for my pen name, and I’m a non entity, there’s not much call to interact with things.
But I passively use lemmy plenty, and read everything in the community.
Would you be open to consolidating the activity on !writingprompts@lemmy.world onto !writingprompts@literature.cafe?
@gabe@literature.cafe, @Arthur@literature.cafe, would you be open to adding MaelGuerra to the mod team?
Yeah I’m totally fine with that if MaelGuerra is up for the transition!
if MaelGuerra is up for the transition
They are! Keep an eye out for a post or comment from them in !writingprompts@literature.cafe and add them to the mod team.
I assumed since you haven’t interacted publicly for a year you were inactive, sorry.
Not a problem :)
Just wanted to check in on this: Would you be open to consolidating the activity on !writingprompts@lemmy.world onto !writingprompts@literature.cafe?
It would help shift the load from LemmyWorld to a more topic-appropriate instance. The instance admins are fine with adding you to the mod team.
