thanks I used to have that techbargains and retailmenot on my old PC I remember now but she bricked and I couldn’t for the life of me remember them till your reply. 🙂

I found a website wwe.dontpayfull.com but it is littered with trackers 🙁

Are these primarily for UK? Thanks for sharing also.

Great idea! Also I noticed that sports communities are mainly bots. Really wonder just how many actively posting users there are on Lemmy?

Even in the hay day of online discussion forum websites you’d have trolls that derail threads and bring nastiness to the forefront.

Good moderation, clearly defined rules and quality of content are key contributes to quality forum.

Wonder how much the Republican candidates will spend talking about catastrophic climate change? 😅

How about Webferret?

Awesome. Strength in numbers.

Well some people start communities but are not up to task. There should be a well developed rules/about community page. I have seen just create a community post links and do very little to build engagement.

People are gonna look and leave if a community has like 10 members a new thread with a few replies every two to three days and links.

When I get a little time I will be creating a community. Either way level of engagement will take time to build but lackadasial community creaters add to the build time.

If I were to start a community moderator tools would one use if necessary. Definitely don’t want to pay for an app to do that though. Typically have been a compliant participator but not an overlord previously.

So true but the game changers are on the way Boost for Lemmy, Sync, and I think one I am missing. Hundreds of thousands if not several million potential Fediverse users .

These apps asked for preregistration for their upcoming Lemmy versions and some users may be maintaining Reddit until their app is ready . Some I am sure signed up for Lemmy, KBin, etc.and were discouraged and stayed with Reddit.

I am almost certain over the the next several months the user base will increase but will it increase enough to get decent engagement levels on more of the niche communities.

That is the sizeable advantage has at the moment.

Probably so. But then why are Android and Android Apps struggling for engagement? But more randoms, casuals, just a wider overall demographic will be needed for niche communities to become viable.

The communities I mainly communicated in on Reddit either don’t exist, or have paltry engagement here.

This is why I am keeping my Reddit account active to make posts in these forums to invite others over here to build engagement.

On the large subs it was that but so much on niche subs like AndroidApps.

I know what you mean within seconds my post would be downvoted. Its either a downvote bot or a rude moderator. Lemmy is a breath of fresh air.

Same except for me its BoostforReddit.
