Evolution is crazy
Have you considered doing a top community of the week/month/year thing? You could reach out to community mods and alert them they've won "Top Community of X period based on ". Keep a pinned post detailing current "winners". It would help advertise this community, and it would encourage other communities to be more competitive/pro-active in appealing to new users.
I feel like Cosmic Osmo is doing something that would best be kept behind closed doors
If you do it on a skateboard you'll be able to get around faster
That's how doubt works.
- There's something you know and you experience something which challenges that knowledge.
- Now you only believe this thing, less sure in your knowledge so you reach out to others who are more knowledgeable on the topic.
- Post answer your belief has either returned to fact or you've learned something new, abandoned a false belief and grown as a person.
Nothing wrong with reaching out.
Huawei P20 Pro, big screen but old phone at this stage I suppose. Thanks for the quick turn around :)
I think splitting the post into sections dedicated to specific metrics might help. You could keep WIP metrics live but as different sections. For example...
Top N By...
Growth Percentage: ... ... ...
Absolute Number of New Subscribers: <eg. trendingcommunites +5000 new subscribers> ... ... ...
Trending Formula (WIP) (Link to post detailing formula): ... ... ...
Etc.
I think that grabbing the easy metrics and offering them up initially will be more beneficial to growing your own subscriber count than trying to work out a clever way to do just the one thing.
Love the idea though, I've posted about this community in a couple places and I'm thrilled to see that it's taking off a bit. Great job!
That's interesting - can I ask where you're seeing those stats?
It's something I thought about. But as you said the exposure to search engines is key.
This doesn't work for me. Tapping once causes the image to close, not just the overlay.
Edit: Follow up on this. I found that if you zoom in slightly and then tap, the overlay will disappear instead of minimising the image. Not exactly as you described but I believe this was what you were referring to. A workaround for now but certainly not an optimal user experience
Came here with the same idea. The ability to sync a selection of subscriptions between different accounts would be a fantastic extension to this feature.
While lemmy.world was experiencing issues with the recent vulnerability I signed up a 2nd account with a different instance. Not having the subscriptions from lemmy.world is a pain, especially after the last few days of collecting subs.
Mr. Maussen is the same guy that found some mummies in Peru, claimed they were alien and it was proven to be mummified children. I wouldn't get too excited by this. If 30% of retrieved DNA was unidentifiable, then 70% was. Not an expert but unidentified genomes are likely to be a result of divergent evolution and/or simply a result of a chemical breakdown over time.
I'd put my money on this guy having a real knack for finding dead kids.
