Just discovered this place had moved, so I haven't been seeing these crop up in my feed. Freshly subbed again :)

My comms have been dong pretty great.

I'm especially pleased with how quickly !pixelart@retrolemmy.com has grown, having reached 800+ subscribers and a very healthy 694 MAU. It also attracted some incredibly talented local artists like @Lay@piefed.social, who has been dishing out some insanely cool pixel art to keep it thriving (Thank you, Lay!)

!breadtube@slrpnk.net has been steadily growing, having ratcheted over 1K at some point (I remember being psyched to have gotten to 70!). It's not super active, but there's usually enough there to keep people coming back.

!mealtimevideos@lemmy.cafe has been the one I've most consistently contributed to myself, but more importantly it still receives regular contributions from @FenrirIII@lemmy.world and @TehBamski@lemmy.world, who have stuck with the community since its creation (like 2 years now?). Thank you both for all your posts, y'all absolutely rock!

Lastly, I noticed that !linuxhardware@programming.dev has recently really been picking up in activity after being fairly dormant for a long time, which is cool :)

Why did I get notified of this post?

Ah, sorry about that. When I first posted I didn't realize the community auto complete had put your username there instead of pixelart@retrolemmy.com. I edited it out, but I guess it had already sent out a notification.

Thank you for the shout out. =)
