!interestingshare@lemmy.zip

Hello everyone,

I have been posting on this community for the last 6 months, and while posts usually get some traction, and from time to time other people would post too, it can feel a bit lonely to be the only one posting here.

As !interestingshare@lemmy.zip is another active community on the same topic, I am thinking about locking the current community and redirect to the lemmy.zip one. Locking this community means that all the past content would still be accessible, but people wouldn’t be able to post anymore.

In case you want to post to !interestingshare@lemmy.zip, please note that the rules ask for a prefix such as [Image], [Video] or [Article], as some clients allow to filter based on those (such as Tesseract: https://tesseract.dubvee.org/)

Feel free to share if you have any feedback.

    To each their own, I suppose. “Interesting as fuck” may be a Reddit-ism or it may not, it’s a lively name that captures the mood and intent of the community well: post things that make you go “wow, that’s interesting as fuck!”

    In my opinion, “Interesting shares” is an incredibly bland and lifeless name that doesn’t really tell me anything about the community or make me want to subscribe. Though I suppose a community about interesting things having an uninteresting name is ironically funny.

      Interesting perspective. How much impact has the name of the community on its success? I guess I’m okay with the name being uninteresting ha ha

        I’m sure there is enough data available from Reddit to make some sort of study about names of subs and their impact on subscriber growth. Would be an interesting read for sure - interesting as fuck, even!
