So true. For some reason I prefer text, probably because I can search through it quicker but when there’s no images its harder.
Like a recent example, I was missing a bunch of collectibles in a game and couldn’t figure out what location was where from the wiki and it was without images, so even trickier. I then had to find a video walkthrough which luckily had the YouTube timestamps meaning I could quickly flick through once I knew I had each one.
Where would you promote communities for Lemmy? I dont wanna be the annoying poster posting on other communities that have nothing to do with the game my community is about; which is Dark Souls 3
Also, all the dark souls related communities I could find were pretty much dead looking too and I already posted about it in one of them and I think that’s still the most recent post about 3 weeks ago
And my biggest problem here is that my community is a place to post trade requests for items in a game and well, I don’t need anything and I’ve already posted that I’ll answer requests for free
I also did a post mentioning the lurkers but also pointing out that they could just be people wanting to help fulfil requests too and 1 person commented saying they were and idk about the other (currently) 13 people :)
I got 2 posts (both mine) and 4 subscribers (including me) 👀
Am I doing well??
I started a community but it’s one that requires other people lmao
I got a couple lurkers but nothing else so far
But how will the content improve when the lurking continues?
I just placed my phone on a surface then turned it around, that works :)
