Hello everyone. We’ve all blinked and now we are nearing the end of May. Some of us played with the Domaystic challenge. I’m surprised how much I’ve drawn for it. 20 prompts done out of 31. Though for some days I certainly drew more than one panel, so call that very evened out?

I hope the original errors that was making it hard for people to fediverse is settling down some. Love to be corrected if wrong, but this is the only fanfic place that has any sign of life in any fediverse I’ve seen! Is there anything that may help others feel more like chatting on here or is it largely just the tech issues and the very small/quiet crowd?

Goodness, I do miss the activity of reddit. I think it might be one of the reasons why I’m pining for interactions in the fandom of my latest hyperfixation when I usually am able to sit back and pretend it doesn’t exist. I was able to get my fandom community needs in a slightly more abstracted way.

    This month did fly by O___O

    i think the quietness comes from the small crowd. Reddit is a internet cornerstone, despite its many problems, and unfortunately it’s where the people are. It’s difficult to convince the average Reddit/X/Tumblr/whatever user to jump to some new platform–for lots of reasons–but mostly because the community isn’t there. There’s a surge of activity in the beginning, then it dies down considerably, and people go back to what they’re familiar with.

    idk how to solve that, though ^^; maybe advertising to introverts? the quietness/small size of the community here could be appealing to people who mostly lurk in the larger fandom Reddit communities.
