I agree to a certain extend, but that brings us to the question of how that content is going to be discovered by people not knowing about Lemmy. With search engines being only a shadow of their former selves, and Reddit shadowbanning Lemmy URLs that's probably another issue we should keep in mind

You do!

Happy to see you hear!

@JohnnyEnzyme@lemm.ee for their work on !eurographicnovels@lemm.ee , and the Lemmy promotion on Reddit!

I think it also depends how popular the topic is.

Gaming, as you said, exists on several platforms, with different mods and teams because it's a quite popular topic.

On the other hand, I also regularly browse !android@lemmy.world and !android@lemdro.id, and they seem pretty similar to me (be it rules or content wise), they are also lacking some activity, so they would probably benefit from being merged, and having one as the reference.

I know, but this question is asked in the specific context where posters are mostly alone on a community for several weeks / months, where the LW equivalent has much more potential.

Top 6 should show them. Are you sure the communities federate correctly with your instance? Have a look at them on their home instance, then from your instance, and see if posts are missing.

If yes, copy the link of the missing post, and paste it into the search bar. It should then appear and "unblock" the federation

Curious, what is your site? Did you post it somewhere on the Fediverse? In which community?

Thanks for the context

How is Shogun?

(the last one went down when the person running it disappeared).

Yes, that's still sad to this day
