Hello guys,
No Weekly Thread this week and probably not in the foreseeable future as I need to deal with personal matters that will reduce the time I have available for the community.
Like I always said, I don’t own the community, if I’m anything it’s its janitor.
So, if anyone is willing to pick up this role of janitor/mod/admin I will gladly give them all the keys. And if you’re feeling like keeping publishing the Weekly Thread or want to change the banner/icons I will also give you the source files for all our illustrations (I used Inkscape to create them).
If no one wants to that’s fine too. I will keep the Mod hat for the time being and do my best but I won’t publish that much.
Edit: if you miss a (much) more active community, don’t forget about our older cousin r/journaling. With their 2 million or so user base they always have a lot more going on.
;)
Don’t feel sorry, it’s great that you wanted to give it a chance, I appreciate it. I will keep the repo available, if anyone wants to use it (here, or anywhere else).
There is no issue either if no one can post regularly around here as the community will simply fall a sleep, like it once was, up until someone shows up willing to give it another chance. Or maybe not and it would just mean that journaling is too much of a niche topic for Lemmy’s limited actual user base? That we can’t tell, but at least we have tried to make it a more lively community.
BTW, if anyone is looking for a more active journaling community, I updated the OP with a link to our cousin from r/journaling. With their 2 million or so user base, they’ve a lot more going on.
