Just curious. I miss mainly language stuff, some video game communities (like RoN, KCD) and some local communities like for Arabs or Saudis (tbf those were always cesspits but I miss talking to other Arabs on Lemmy)

I'll try to be the change I want to see. How about you?

Interesting, never heard of it. Though that content sounds like it takes effort which only a select couple of users would exert.

There was like, under 100 people who would write, but a lot of them were very good. I bought a couple of ebooks and read tens of thousands of pages of work from there.

The type of person commenting there ideally wants most eyes to see their work, so I think it could do well even with a small community of commenters, it used to be really fun when it was just everyone giving it a go and not professional authors who are bored.

Well both the mods of [email protected] and [email protected] are inactive, so if one of you were interested you could take up moderating it ;)

Sounds like a great opportunity to migrate a .world community to a more topical instance as well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

When I set it up, there was a bit of difficulty finding instances, or I would have picked one that's less congested. There's one at literature.cafe that gets some use as well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

isn't character limit by instance? If that's an issue an issue with it movings prob a good idea

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Literature.cafe seems great for what it is so if someone would pick between them i think lc would be 100% the better choice.

Not inactive, just not active active. There's never anything to moderate, and I'm not prone to doing my writing on lemmy these days. Character limits make it somewhat annoying to fit things in. I favor longer fiction than I used to, particularly back on reddit. Since this account is exclusively for my pen name, and I'm a non entity, there's not much call to interact with things.

But I passively use lemmy plenty, and read everything in the community.

I assumed since you haven't interacted publicly for a year you were inactive, sorry.

Just wanted to check in on this: Would you be open to consolidating the activity on [email protected] onto [email protected]?

It would help shift the load from LemmyWorld to a more topic-appropriate instance. The instance admins are fine with adding you to the mod team.

Wonderful! Would you be able to do the following?

  1. Lock [email protected] by checking "Only moderators can post to this community"
  2. Create one final post on [email protected] announcing the consolidation to [email protected]
  3. Rename the community to "[Dormant community] Writing Prompts"

Once you've done these three steps, leave post or comment on [email protected] and ping @[email protected] and @[email protected] so they can easily add you to the mod team.

Would you be open to consolidating the activity on [email protected] onto [email protected]?

@[email protected], @[email protected], would you be open to adding MaelGuerra to the mod team?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I'm totally fine with that if MaelGuerra is up for the transition!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

if MaelGuerra is up for the transition

They are! Keep an eye out for a post or comment from them in [email protected] and add them to the mod team.
