Hi :3
I'm active here, just not much to moderate since not much gets posted. When I initially moved to Lemmy, I had an account on .world, and didnt find any fox communities so created it myself. Then got the idea of setting up a bot to upload hourly from my personal fox picture collection, but that never happened. Now not a fan of having it on .world because of it defeating decentralization, but its already kinda established.
Nowadays I never post because I can't come up with a title, even though having plenty of images to post...
Also alot of time spent working on my own website, https://findafox.net/ on which there are plenty of pics :3
For completeness' sake, I'll also highlight:
Might want to avoid ML, but the dormant EE communities could be resurrected as a non-World alternative which is better-managed than SDF.
Can agree on avoiding ml as well
But how about just creating a new community on sh.itjust.works, blahaj.zone or pawb.social for all that matters? In my eyes they got good rep. Im happy to moderate said community
Creating yet another community on any instance adds to the consolidation problem we are trying to solve. As for those specific instances, blahaj is LGBT-focused, pawb is furry-focused, and sh*t-just-works has a bit of an awkward name. Not that there is anything wrong with these, but for a general fox community, something like !fox@lemm.ee which already exists seems like it could be the smoothest transition.
I have this trouble too sometimes. I figure just approach it like you would alt text. "a picture of a bunny I took today," "bunny in the evening," "bunny looks left," might be boring but it's accurate, and people are here for the cute animal pictures, not for my clever titling. Thanks for making cool stuff on Lemmy!
I am confused on if you would rather stay on .world or if you would like to move, or if you are ambivalent. (I personally favor moving and getting you installed as mod on the sdf community, but I'm also not the only user of the fox community, hence the thread!)
True, can just keep it simple and descriptive, ill try to remember to post more :3
I would be in favor of moving the community to a different instance than .world, .sdf.org is definitely an option with the !foxnews@lemmy.sdf.org community already there, though as much as i like the running joke of the foxnews being actual fox news, it is kinda confusing possibly for someone that just wants to find a community centered around foxes, so creating a new community called fox@lemmy.instance or foxes@.. would be in my favor
