I checked out the community right after I got here, and the last weekly thread was posted three months ago. Honestly, I’m kinda scared to start new posts in places that usually have weekly threads. My past subreddit experiences still haunt me.
I think the idea is that new people would post in weekly threads, but there’s no real directing users to that. Did you get directed to that community when you arrived? I can easily schedule posts if necessary.
yea you summed up my thoughts pretty well.
Since the posts are so old, I wasn’t sure if it’s still a thing, or my questions would be just going to the void.
This is where we need people to be redirected to !newcomers@piefed.zip

I think newcomers won’t post unless there’s sign of life, and there won’t be signs of life unless newcomers post.
Maybe a weekly thread posting boring stats or something could be a nice way to indicate it’s not a dead community?
Edit: Or what sunshine said, I’m not familiar but that sounds like a problem.

Understandable when some mods go down hard on people who break the unwritten rules.
