Activity's picking up again on !streetwear@lemmy.world after a hiatus of about a year. (not really "my community" but it's interesting to see it happen.)

Good to see that the mod is keeping it active

Well, it's interesting to see how it happened. @jilanico@lemmy.world was posting once every couple of weeks or so, then @TehBamski@lemmy.world make 3 posts over the last week, then @BlueEther@no.lastname.nz and I jumped in with one post each.

Dunno if it'll last or not (personally I'm only good for 1-2 posts a month max) but my current hypothesis is that you need 2-3 core posters and a handful of occasional non-core (ideally non-mod) posters to show that others are welcome.

There's also a skill in making posts that encourage discussion... instead of just providing content to consume mindlessly... I don't know how to do that very well yet tho...

Really appreciate you supporting the streetwear community 🤝❤️ thank you!!!

Yeah, wish I could contribute more... I don't have that much content tho... I think I'm good for 1-2 posts a month as long as the community's active...

I've recently found Pinterest to be way better than Imgur, at discovering content for the communities I like to post in and those that I try to give a boost to. And more powerful is Pinterest's related content finder. Also, keywords mean a lot more on Pinterest than they do on Imgur. I can find more content 'in between things' by adding or subtracting words in my Pinterest search.

We could create a thread about that this week!
