Like others, I came over when Reddit was banning 3rd party apps. Many communities were being started and I wanted to help. So I chose one community to form here and try and grow. And we did! There was a time a short while in the little KC Chiefs community was in the top 100 communities on Lemmy world. I knew that wouldn’t last that we would be outpaced by many more broad appeal communities but I didn’t predict the reverse in engagement growth that has come. Stagnation sure, I didn’t think Lemmy was going to surpass reddit for a long while yet, but not the barren communities of today. Meme communities and the “small gripe” adjacent communities are doing fine, but it seems all others have shrunk. I tried to keep the Kerbal Space Program community active for a bit but had to return to the official forums and even subreddit for discussion. The post I made in the Go community here remains the only post in the community.

A platform led by a CEO who edits comments of users, lies about other professionals and then double downs on the lie when proven to be a liar can’t be trusted. And in general I prefer the decentralized open source backbone of Lemmy to the ad ridden, rage bait and bug filled Reddit. I’d love for this to be my full time home for discussing my niche interests but that’s not possible without others engaging with the content.

I posted a lot in the beginning, tried to comment a lot too but now it feels like talking to myself when I make a new post in the community I started and get few or no responses. What can be done? Community specific advice is nice, but I’m looking more for Lemmy World level solutions as I’m sure there’s many many other niche communities I’m not apart of experiencing the same thing.

Using iPhone 13 Pro Max iOS 16.5.1 I have restarted my iPhone and also deleted and re added voyager to my Home Screen. The webpage in safari works but the Home Screen app shows “Safari can’t open the page because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server.”

Currently, if I’m browsing all and wish to block a community I have to click into the community, bring up the community feed and then block. If I could block a community from the three dots button in the post while still in the all view it would be amazing.

At this point Voyager is free and beyond my wildest expectations this early so I want to reiterate my appreciation for the work on the app and understanding if this isn’t a high priority feature. Thanks for everything so far just giving my feedback.

I love the new ability to filter communities and block users. Haven’t had to use it much yet but it was honestly the feature that made Apollo for me.

There are some topics/keywords that I just don’t care to come through my feed when browsing all.

Is it planned to add filters to words that appear in the title as well? Basically the same way filters worked on Apollo?

Thanks for all the hard work and for making the best new app of the year! I really think Voyager is going to be key to growing Lenny as a whole.

Is there a toprightmahomes on Lemmy yet?

Now that I (I think) understand federation I was going to unblock the beehaw communities since I should still be able to vote and comment on them but I can’t find them now.

I feel like I prefer my saved list to be private. Also I can’t seem to get confirmation on if up and down votes are public or not.
