My constant shitposting is working!
2 months ago, I decided to post one thing a day, every day, to our !cyberpunk community in an attempt to keep it active and potentially grow the community. I don’t know what type of content people like to see, so I tried posting a mix of: anime recommendations, movie recommendations, book recommendations, tv show recommendations, news, discussion topics, etc. But I also made sure not to have the same post “type” back-to-back to make sure I wasn’t making too many movie recommendations or anime recommendations. I seriously gave it too much thought. I just didn’t want it to devolve into random artwork like r/cyberpunk on reddit. Cyberpunk artwork is fine but I want it to be more about the themes than the aesthetic.
And now, 2 months later, we’re at 1k subscribers! I consider that a huge accomplishment. My ultimate goal though is to have more subscribers than the cyberpunk community at https://lemmy.ml/c/cyberpunk. They’re at 1.16k subscribers but their community is boring and they never post anything. So if we can exceed 1.16k subscribers then we’ll be the largest !cyberpunk community in the entire Fediverse!
Thank you for your service. I’m one of those mostly-passive-consumer types, I rarely ever run across anything worth posting, so you folk that actually generate content for me are the real heroes of the internets.
