Just curious to know how many mods here are

A. still "here" and active
B. here but given up due to lack of momentum, interest
C. abandoned platform completely
D. just waiting for the 1 year mark and praying new users and posters will continue to come
E. other? (like only relying at alternative matrix chat)

I'll be happy to see more than 10 responses from this dead community 😉

[Update 11/18]: glad to see comments, feedback, much more than I expected. Also see the modlog for actions taken. Just wanted to point out a couple of threads:

Just a suggestion - try browsing r/SensualFemdom. I helped setup that subreddit a couple of years ago when it was at 1.5K members, but its a bit too "tame" for me personally 😉. There are lots of relevant content/illustrations there (especially from friend mod u/SurfFly) that I think fits your community well.

Another draw Reddit has that I forgot to mention is the prevalence of OC content.

Again, you are totally right. I started r/DangleAndJingle from scratch to over 200K in a few years (and now Im setting up equivalent [email protected] here), and it is now > 95% OC (not to mention all the tons of posts from unverified posters that we filter out via automod that are never seen). The main reason I mentioned this example is that I remember celebrating the first 500, then 1000, then 2K members, and then it gained momentum (a lot of it was due to the special OC posters/friends at the start of that sub, who have all but disappeared/retired...)

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll check it out. Funnily enough, I get a lot of the content I post from Reddit.

Yep. If the communities here could attract some high quality OC posters (especially ones who don’t also post on Reddit) that would lead to some major growth, but that goes back to the same problem of OC producers not coming here because of low view counts…. I think at the end of the day, Lemmy is going to struggle to compete unless Reddit does something crazy and completely bans NSFW content or something.
