I feel to maximize growth:

  • Post daily at a time when most people are on Lemmy.
  • Always try to include an interesting picture with the post. If you're sharing a URL, sometimes a thumbnail doesn't show or is uninteresting. In these cases, find a better picture and use that and move the URL to the body of the post.
  • Shamelessly plug the community every chance you get. Speaking of which, !augmented_reality@lemmy.world

Well done!

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Thats great! I'm not personally interested in the topic, but I do love me some fediverse growth!

Now you need to make sure you have regular content. Good luck!

What’s the best time to post?

[-] IronSightOS@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

When I made this post 😁 but it's a guess based on my experience. I don't know if there's a way to see stats of when most people are on Lemmy.

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 months ago

There is.

Various statistics can be viewed here.

For activity, here is activity generation for the last 24 hours.

Thanks! What time zone is this? It doesn’t seem to specify.

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Should be yours. It updates live, so it's always the last 24 hours no matter what that is.

You can edit the time range, too, if you like, or show just the stats of a certain instance.

[-] Blaze@feddit.org 5 points 2 months ago

Probably when Europe / US are still awake

In my app, you can add an alternate picture that will replace the url picture. Can you do that on other platforms?

Edit: oh yeah, also great post! Thanks for doing your part!

Is this possible to do on the webUI?

A lot of sites aren't properly scrapped for the heading image, but I can't seem to set a custom one when using the default webUI.

[-] Blaze@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago

It's possible on the web ui site version 0.19.4.

Lemmyworld is still on 0.19.3

[-] Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Interesting.

Looking forward to the update, this is a much needed feature if you post a lot, since image scrapping simply doesn't work.

Cheers!

[-] Blaze@feddit.org 4 points 2 months ago

If that's urgent for you, you might consider opening an account on lemm.ee or lemmy.zip, both on 0.19.5

Lemmyworld are planning to wait until 0.19.6 which isn't going to be released any time soon

[-] Pandantic@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago

I suggest it anyway since .world is the default instance and, last I checked, too bloated.

[-] Blaze@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago

Indeed!

[-] IronSightOS@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Maybe there's a way and I haven't figured it out :) Thank you for your encouraging words!!
