TLDR: The reason for why I created the sublemmy is not getting attention, sublemmy didn’t took off, I’m the only poster (and I post only useless stuff), and there are 2 much more popular/active sublemmies on the exact same topic. TLDR End.
I will be closing down this sublemmy. The reason I created this sublemmy is to advertise this incentive https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/post/275868 (“Petition for more high speed rail in the EU”). For clarification I didn’t get the idea to create this sublemmy when I saw the post that I crossposted but I wanted to do that even before I found that post. I decided to pin the crossposted post on the topic instead of making my own because I wouldn’t be able to describe the incentive this well myself. This is a reason one for why I want to close this sub down. The other reasons are:
2.) !fuckcars@lemmy.world and !fuck_cars@lemmy.ml are much bigger and much more popular alternative subs that weren’t as big when I started out this sublemmy.
3.) I’m basically the only poster here and all I’m posting is some images related to “fuck cars” to get attention so more people learn about the EU incentive. I’m not posting any news articles on the topic but only some images that lead to some basic conversation if I’m lucky.
Some time after closing down the sublemmy I’m thinking of deleting the sublemmy completely. If there’s someone that wants to take over the sublemmy and actively post on it actually useful stuff then you’re welcome to contact me in the comments under this post. Changed my mind if you want to post stuff then do so on the other 2 sublemmies to help them grow even further.
I hate cars, but I hate the term “sublemmy” worse
The correct analogous term is “
magazinecommunity”.Reddit : Lemmy :: subreddit :
magazinecommunity :: /r/ : /c/Edit: I know what I am :(
Lemmy calls them communities. magazine is for kbin
If there is a sublemmy, does that mean that is also a domlemmy?
It’s me, obviously
Now get on your knees kitten.
Giving fuck cars a hole new meaning
Call them lemmy-comms
Wtf is a lemmycomm? Why are we coming up a new word for community??
It specifies that I’m talking about lemmy community, not reddit communitiy or kbin community. I talk about them a lot outside of the platform so it’s good to have a word for lemmy specific communities.
Edit: and damn, hating some alternative word for a lemmy community more than killing machines that spew pollution is kinda odd.
Reddit has subreddits Lemmy has communities Kbin has Magazines
I mean, try to control it as much as you wish, but this is the Fediverse. People are free to call it what they wish.
And correct it
“correct” implies you have a greater authority than the other user, which is not true on the Fediverse. You’re really just trying to control.
Correct implies what the masses want, not what 1 single user is attempting to do.
The term is communities, anything else is incorrect.
And until you poll the masses in their entirety across the service, you do not know what that is. You cannot know, all you can measure is what you are around. Thus you are arbitrarily imposing on the freedom of another user.
It’s not imposing will, that’s literally what it’s called within the program framework. People decided on these terms before most of us knew the platform even existed.
That’s why you see links to c/whatever and m/whatever. Communities and magazines.
