It is aesthetically pleasing to me and I understand what’s going on. I’m no data scientist, so my standards on how to arrange data might be far lower than yours. If you’re interested in setting minimum standards for data posted here, that might be an interesting thread for discussion.

I read their reply less as “rtfm” and “I cannot answer that question because you asked if I came to any conclusions with the data, and well, I didn’t because this is someone else’s, let me credit them!” Although I agree they could have just posted the other person’s conclusions too, instead of just linking the Reddit source.

The original Reddit poster didn’t come to any real conclusions, but I can post everything they said relevant to the data:

The count can’t be 100% accurate but we’ve done the best we can: I suspect that we had some kids come back for seconds the first year and we didn’t catch it.

We’ve done full-size bars every year, added glow sticks last year and the kids have gone nuts over it. I like how it makes them more visible to drivers/etc., too.

Also, they are from

Puyallup, WA, housing development with many nearby.

More people on the Fediverse is good. I don’t want to tell people “maybe stay on Reddit”, discouraging them to use it and maybe making them feel unwelcome and unwanted when they are not being cruel to others or spammy.

https://forum.obsidian.md/t/rendering-the-markdown-in-the-query-search-results/37978 has an experimental plugin doing this

I was literally typing a reply about how it still is useful to onlookers and how I have had my mind changed as a third party witness to online arguments before, and then I saw this. Thanks for doing that!

That’s how I felt about Kbin way back when. I hope PieFed grows and works out!

So problem all solved?

Also, https://startrek.website is a whole instance for Star Trek. Having multiple communities about the same thing is good for redundancy in case one goes down though.

Yours also allows me to open it on Mbin.

You would be 100% correct. It was for long-form high quality writeups of drama in a hobby, not looking at drama specifically on Reddit.

Really wish people used !hobbydrama@lemmy.world, from a quick look the three you put seem to be about specifically Fediverse drama

Mbin user here, link in the OP kicks me to lemm.ee while originallucifer’s link lets me find it on Mbin

https://fanaticus.social is a whole sports instance, and the instance as a whole definitely passes the “at least a post per week” requirement

!knitting@lemmy.world

Yep, definitely not new, but in the past I have seen people promote not-new communities that nonetheless are tiny and have not been posted here before so I figured it was okay. If you’re concerned this sub is losing its purpose you might want to message the mod about changing the rules or something. I do not mind seeing old communities here but my opinion is not the only one that matters, and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca does exist even if it gets far less traffic.

From the Obsidian Discord:

PSA: Our main server was taken down by a forced reboot at 2024-08-24 3AM EST / 12AM PST. When the account server was down, our services like Sync, Publish, and account functions like login or sign up were disrupted.

Normally our services would have immediately auto-restarted, however we made a mistake in the auto-restart configuration, which meant that it did not automatically restart. I was able to start it up again manually at 8AM EST. Everything is back to normal now.

I have since located the configuration issue and fixed it so if this happens again it would be down for at most a few seconds. Apologies for the inconvenience!

Ooh a PieFed community! Wonder how that’ll play with Mbin and Lemmy. Followed. Hope this along with the more mainstream textile hobby communities convince me to actually engage in my textile hobbies more often.

Hey, thanks for the recommendations! I have never heard of Tomboy so I went and looked it up and from the images I saw on Wikipedia it definitely looks “forever ago”.
