1·
1 year agoI created the https://sh.itjust.works/c/vtubers community just now.
- Are you creating this community just to create it? By that I mean, are you willing to put in the work as the moderator if it does take off?
- I’ve already started the welcome post and created some basic, common-sense rules. I’ve never moderated a HUGE community before, but I imagine my skill will grow with the community. If nothing else, I know where to look for help if I need it!
- Is it a niche community of a larger subset that has a thriving community or a completely new category?
- I couldn’t find any communities related to streaming that already existed. While vtubing is a niche of the greater livestreaming phenomenon, it’s growing in popularity on its own, and my expertise is within vtubing rather than general livestreaming.
- Are you willing to regularly post stuff to start seeding comments & advertise it in the relevant places?
- Whether or not it takes off, I’m planning to post regularly. I’m hoping that it will grow organically rather than by brute force advertisement.
No matter what happens, I think it’ll be fun. I’m not in this for power or for building THE BIGGEST community, I’m looking for a new place to spend my free time now that reddit is imploding. If things go sideways, the delete button exists.
Thank you for laying things out plainly! I’ll make sure I add a note in my community description to follow server rules first and foremost.
