You’re right, I should set my expectations now.

Cool, another app I won’t download and will look sideways at whoever does.

If I see its userbase consists of gen z and younger I will be very disappointed.

In my case I’m just posting a lot to already-created communities found in the Lemmy directory that’ve got a chunk of subscribers.

If you’re going to start your own community for your own interest, I’d advise at least setting up on an already-populated Lemmy server (which you would have to be registered on) so it gets listed in the local directory.

If you’re going to host the Lemmy server and your community, I have no experience on that front/I would imagine there’s a lot of SEO and self-promotion you’d have to do to get it off the ground.

i’m more curious about getting on their venmo friend list.

“hey, it’s uh, vlad. i need 200k for the um, rigging of the midterms in uh, wisconsin. thank you.”

I mostly contribute here, mostly.

You gotta Field of Dreams it. I’m doing it for LV426/the Aliens universe. Just treat it like you’re starting a forum or a newsletter and, hopefully in time, others will contribute and it’ll grow organically.

The Voyager iOS App makes it feel like I never left.

This for-profit social platform will be different guys!

I’ve seen this movie. Don’t the plants kill them?

Startup idea: OkCupid but for communes. Matchmake a commune of people together. Can chunks of society go on without these management leeches?

Hm, had no idea this existed/should not have been surprised. Thanks for plugging it!

No problem, I’ll just eat less plastic!

…oh wait.

I am very interested. I’ll look into that, thank you!

Edit from Fossil: We are no longer selling smartwatches.

Phooey!

If I could get a classic dumb watch with just the ability to vibrate when my phone gets an alert, I’d be soooooo happy.

I still kick myself for not getting one of the first Kindle models that had free 3(4?)G built in.

I knew things were looking too optimistic.

Yeah the chasing profit is what ultimately dooms public forums.
