Are we sure it's counting 1.5 M users and not 1.5 M memes posted by picard, pug, and squid?

Just wouldn't want any newcomers to the history communities to up and think the place was dead! Lemmy cannot live on Linux alone πŸ™

Oh shit you mean like AskHistorians? Is there enough density now for that?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I answer on AskHistorians, but don't post there. But I'd love to see activity there too! Mostly I run three history meme communities (HistoryMemes, RoughRomanMemes, and ShermanPosting), and four communities for sharing historical images of interest (HistoryPorn [not my choice of name, it's just for photos], HistoryIllustrations, HistoryRuins, and HistoryArtifacts)

That’s great. The history communities on the other site were such great quality on average and I miss them. How do you have time to do all that?

Know where to look to grab pics real quick + Light moderation load + Not many other hobbies + Work from home with downtime between tasks

are you entirely a human? you post really often

No, I'm part metal. Helps to keep going longer than mere organics, but getting through the airport is a bitch.

More seriously, I take 2-4 times a day to grab some pics from my stashes and post them real quick on my regular communities. Takes maybe 15 minutes each time. 60 minutes every day is a good chunk, but it's far from grueling.

Now, my FOMO causing me to check my notifications every moment I get free time? That's a little more grotesque.

I don’t think lemmy would be what it is without the contributions of any one of these three- let alone all of them.
