i get the impression that the less useful the thing is, and the more of a nerd you have to be to set it up, the better it is, as far as fedi is concerned, lol

@thor who cares. If YouTube had shown the world anything it's that whatever weird, stupid, niche crap you're into there are a hundred weird nerds like you.Do what you like, share it and you'll find your people :)

@harrumph i suspect that my stuff exists in a territory where it's a bit too niche for normies but a bit too mainstream for the ultranerds

@thor my observation is that the problem is this community is mostly lurkers.You gotta get people engaged. Most artists on here make porn and solicit engagement. If I was into tech, is confidently tell people things that I know are wrong, which would get engagement ;)

@harrumph for example, i'm trying to make a cryptocurrency right now, but one that works differently.to the extent that i've had any responses to it, it's been "have you checked out X, which seems similar?"

@thor :)Well I was scrolling some of your posts and my observation of I may be so bold: they're very passive, ",I wish" or "if only", there are a few direct requests but mostly passive.What provokes you too engage with something? Idiocy? Novel ideas? Etc. Check out what others in your little corner are doing to get people engaged and try it on.

@harrumph i mean, you're browsing recent posts that are metaposts about other posts where i was talking about what i was doing, explaining it, etc, that didn't get much attention

@thor just trying to help. I'm no where near your lane so I can't give any technical advice, but humans are still motivated by the same basic behaviors.Just gotta find the way to nudge them into actually typing rather than scrolling onwards mindlessly.

@thor there's the answer starting you in the face. Format your posts with a cat.I dunno, get a picture of the car in a hoodie complaining about file systems or something ;)

@harrumph that's so dumb it actually might work, but it's a bit like waving a toy in front of a baby to make it pay attention

@thor well you've got 2 choices: intellectual pride but obscurityOr: successful engagement at the surface level so you have SOMETHING to build on

@harrumph reminds me of the most successful YouTube video i have ever made, which got millions of views.it was a stupid video for the Brony fandom (i had a brief phase). felt a bit ashamed of having that be the most popular video i ever made, so i deleted it.i'm apparently not the only one who's been doing that either. someone who still engages with the fandom tells me videos keep getting deleted by their creators.sort of understandable since it's a bit cringe to be associated with...

@thor I unashamedly know all the major ponies. I'm not a fan, I just have been subjected to it by children.I also care about continuity so of I'm gonna listen to this shit I need to know who the actual fuck bulk bisceps, or discord are.

@harrumph one thing that bothered me was how many fans didn't even know what i was parodying (Weebl's Amazing Horse) and thought i had invented the whole thing from scratch

@harrumph so my claim to fame was not only very goofy, it wasn't very original.

@thor well the point is, give people what they want. You want the party of least resistance. If they want cats, then repackage with cats. Ponies? She why not. As long as it gets your engagement which ultimately helps you achieve your goal and build interest in it so it starts as well as it can.

@thor well in the world of story telling there is nothing original. Harry Potter is the classic heros tale. Star wars, king Arthur, sigfreid,etc all the same basic story structure.All you can hope for is an interesting version :)
