I see many communities that got started in the last ten days. Sadly, some that I'm most interested in are not that active. Some are not active at all.

What are you doing to help your community? How do you go from lurking to contributing? Spreading the word?

Also, what's for breakfast?

I created a lucid dreaming community: https://kbin.social/m/LucidDreaming
I've added a few threads, articles and videos. Hopefully that's at least something to start with.

That is so cool! I was able to lucid dream in my twenties after discovering an article and then a book about it. I still remember the four lucid dreams I had. I then let the skill slip away. It was a lot of effort and I found I couldn't be overly tired in order to do it. I'll have to check the group out. Maybe I'll build the skill again.

That sounds awesome :) Yeah, it is possible to approach it in a "lighter" way. If you don't take it too seriously, for example, or learn to enjoy your non-lucid dreams. Also finding the "right approach" for you will help. It's definitely exhausting to put a lot of energy into something that isn't working well.

Thanks for adding this, subbed!

[–] mabd@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Excellent! See you over there :)

Sadly I can't browse it from my instance... Guess I'll have to use kbin a bit more

404 for me

[–] mabd@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hmm, ok. I'll see if I can figure it out

[–] L0Wigh@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks, I would love to be part of this community

Try https://lemmy.world/c/LucidDreaming@kbin.social, I finally got it opening here. I've been told you won't see any content that was created before, so it appears empty (not sure why), but you should see any future content added

[–] L0Wigh@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Still not visible from sh.itjust.works, only from lemmy.world (I tried changing the url to my instance and it goes to a 404)

[–] mabd@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Dammit. What I did was:

Instead, try going https://lemmy.world/search and entering the full URL for the community ( https://kbin.social/m/LucidDreaming ). It'll spin for a little longer than usual but it should show up in the search results.

I tried the equivalent at sh.itjust.works but I only find comments. On lemmy.world the link for the community was on the second page, but on sh.itjust.works there's nothing on the second page (which is weird since there is a next button that takes me to "no results"). Hmm. Does you instance have a support thread where someone might be having similar issues?

[–] mabd@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lemmy? Someone else asked me to add a "link for lemmy". I'm still new at all this, so I'll look into it.

[–] L0Wigh@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm from sh.itjust.works so yeah it's a lemmy based instance. Seems like kbin federate us but your community (magazine) isn't visible for us

[–] MyMulligan@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I read not long ago here that if one person does a successful search and subscribes to a community/magazine on another instance, then the instance you are on will pull it for others to find easily.

The federated connections are growing quickly. Stuff just takes time to propagate everywhere.

I'm not sure how kbin and Lemmy truly interact. I could be wrong. But it was something I read earlier.

[–] L0Wigh@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

So I guess we just have to wait and it will be showed sometimes
