    I consistently posted to !streetwear@lemmy.world with the goal of getting to 1,000 subscribers in the hopes that a large subscriber base would encourage people to show off their outfits.

    But I’m not holding my breath since there just aren’t enough people into fashion on Lemmy. Now that I’ve reached my goal (yay) I’m moving on to other things 🫡

      I do like fashion.

      I always thought “streetwear” implied a certain kind of style that is not my cup of tea, and I am very uncomfortable posting a picture myself online, even if I censor my face out.

          Curiosity made me check if !femalefashionadvice@lemmy.world existed and it does but it is not very active—I’d imagine any not-man looking for fashion communities on the Fediverse might not bite on male fashion advice lol. Now I am also wondering if just plain “fashion advice” exists, or anything for nonbinary people. Back when I was on Reddit I wasn’t aware of such a subreddit, I was only aware of malefashionadvice and femalefashionadvice.

          I’ll be honest, I am not even qualified to advise on fashion. I am sure I am not colorblind but things like “oh, that color washes you out” or “that color flatters you” have never been something I am able to see. I feel I’m missing a lot of knowledge like this, but I get by because none of my clothes cause me trouble in daily life—no pain, unexpected restricted movement, or general discomfort; people compliment my outfits sometimes; and I’m happy with what I’m wearing.

          Also, good luck with the community and I hope you find posters, as someone who is also one of the primary posters in some communities I’m in and hopes others would interact sometime.

            Reddit had (has 😝) several fashion subs. Male Fashion was popular for all genders (they grew beyond their name). r/Streetwear (of which I was a former mod 🥲) had 4.6 million subscribers. There were several other subs, some general, some niche.

            I don’t buy into that whole Color Me Beautiful stuff. You should wear what you like and not feel constrained because of your skin’s undertones or whatnot smh.

            Appreciate the well wishes! Hope your communities flourish as well!

              If I knew you here, I’d have invited you to join !streetwear@style.land. I feel like fashion is still one of the biggest segments on Reddit that could have migrated.

                Didn’t even realize there was another streetwear community 🤝 I don’t see any activity on that entire instance tho. Is it defederated with lemmy.world?

                  The instance is federated,.but the communities were quiet or only used for mirroring content from Reddit.

                  If you know more mods or people who want to migrate, I’d love to help.

    I can get upvotes, but getting other people to post/comment/crosspost is nearly impossible lol

      It is the nature of things. Most users just post something the occasional time they find something to post.

      Going about finding something to post is the unusual behaviour. I’ve had users come and go in my communities, and even repeat posters still do so sporadically.

      I did notice a lot of your communities don’t have icons or banners. That definitely makes a difference when people look for where to share something. No icon makes the community seem dead or like it never got started.

      An icon instantly sets a community apart in the results, both in search and the create post page. The sub and active counts are the second thing people look at, after that, I suspect.

    !fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee has been roaring, thanks to the tsunami of posts by @Don_Dickle@lemmy.world. @perishthethought@lemm.ee, @ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net, and a couple others have been backing them up.

    !truecomics@midwest.social has been barelling along. Interestingly, the mod and frequent poster @clark@midwest.social is going back to school this week and thus will not be posting as much. Will be interesting to see if others take over.

    !streetwear@lemmy.world - Kind of sad to see @Jilanico@lemmy.world stop posting, but I get it.

    !bicycle_touring@lemmy.world is doing pretty damn good, considering the fact that the english speaking general cycling communities with way more subscribers see so little traffic. I guess after the season it will die down quite a bit, but season’s still on. Yes, season’s still on, so strap some luggage on your bike and get going.

    I thought that !humanscale@communick.news started to show some signs of life a couple of weeks ago, with good comments on some posts of mine and even got a first post from someone other than me. Alas, summer break broke the momentum.

      Apologies for the OT: I sent you a DM some weeks ago asking if you’d be interested in running the Fediverser services with your instance, to make it as a possible destination for redditors migrating via https://fediverser.network.
