To discuss how to grow and manage communities / magazines on Lemmy, Mbin, Piefed and Sublinks

I feel to maximize growth:

  • Post daily at a time when most people are on Lemmy.
  • Always try to include an interesting picture with the post. If you're sharing a URL, sometimes a thumbnail doesn't show or is uninteresting. In these cases, find a better picture and use that and move the URL to the body of the post.
  • Shamelessly plug the community every chance you get. Speaking of which, [email protected]

Is this possible to do on the webUI?

A lot of sites aren't properly scrapped for the heading image, but I can't seem to set a custom one when using the default webUI.

It's possible on the web ui site version 0.19.4.

Lemmyworld is still on 0.19.3

Interesting.

Looking forward to the update, this is a much needed feature if you post a lot, since image scrapping simply doesn't work.

Cheers!

If that's urgent for you, you might consider opening an account on lemm.ee or lemmy.zip, both on 0.19.5

Lemmyworld are planning to wait until 0.19.6 which isn't going to be released any time soon

I suggest it anyway since .world is the default instance and, last I checked, too bloated.
