Not going to lie, I got banned so I made my own World News Community. This community differs because there’s no silly bot, I’ll happily listen to the communities voice, and we’re a bit more lax on rules policing.

Feel free to come on by and comment. I would love to foster a News community that’s active in discussion.

    Nope, it’s a small personal gaming discord with about 20 or so people mostly from Australia. Most didn’t join and I don’t think many of them stuck around after a few days.

    I doubt all 2k have upvoted posts, isn’t it just people who click on a link and visit the community? Which I don’t think is as rare as you think. I bet I could see even higher numbers if I made a meme community. Trending things isn’t super hard, and once you get that you get viewers.

      Active users count users who votes, posted or commented. Visiting is not enough.

      Indeed, but memes are a very popular type of content. News, not so much.

      On the other hand, I had a look at https://lemmy.world/post/20721206 and that might explain where the users come from.

      • do you plan to have other mods as well?
      • quokk.au currently only has one admin, do you know if they plan to add other admins? If not, the risk of the instance disappearing over night is something to consider: https://feddit.uk/post/17835033
