We’re now past the two-month mark, and I’ve done my level-best to stock up our community with a load of content to be delved into by newcomers and reviewers, both. So far it’s been a labor of love.

As such, I typically spend about 1-3 hours per day investigating future stuff that might make for interesting posts, sorting through things, upgrading art, writing notes, then giving it a shot (i.e. posting) every day, balancing the days I miss by posting twice the next day. Also, I usually post in the early mornings, such that our posts begin in Europe.

That said, I don’t blame anyone in particular for not liking any particular stuff I decide to post on any particular day. That’s just natural.

At the same time-- with 300+ subscribers now, it frankly stings to get a negative reaction like this, upon European artist Brecht Evens’ work. After all, we’re talking about one of the most awarded, modern, most-legit European comics creators doing their thing when it comes to Evens’ work.

So here’s a question–

  1. Can you explain why you don’t like the Evens’ post? Because I’m open to editing / switching things up.

  2. Would you like to post your own material? Because I welcome that.

Me, I’m going to take a break from this sub and think about some things…

EDIT: At the time of posting this, the Brecht Evens’ post had a zero score, with more downvotes than upvotes. This was after a full day+, in which I gave the voting time to adjust itself.

EDIT2: Thank you so much to the positive responders. I’ve read the replies and have commented below.

    Dropped in from browsing all, you are complaining because your post only got 3 upvotes? I’ve been building content on a community for months posting pretty much every day (on a different account) and the majority of my posts either stay at 1 or drop to 0 with pretty much zero engagement in comments bar a couple over my 100+ posts.

    You have multiple posts with 20+ votes meaning people are looking at and engaging with what you are posting in some form or another, just because one post sees less engagement suddenly you are throwing your toys out?

    I get that it can be some what demoralising over time as I fully know how it feels to constantly be posting and trying to build some content for the future but it is exactly that, for the future. At least you have people actually looking at what you have done so far, as far as I know no one is looking at what I am doing but that isn’t why I am doing it.

    Take a step back if you feel you need to but I think you need to temper your expectations for what is still a fairly low traffic place, maybe dial back how much time you are putting in. If you are spending that much time do you need to post every single day?

        https://lemmy.world/c/dubstep

        !dubstep@lemmy.world

        Has nothing to do with this community and is niche in general not just around Lemmy so I have no expectations of it growing with any speed but I’d like for there to be a representation for it here on Lemmy so hopefully as reddit pushes out more people some may make their way over and find that there is already somewhere they can jump into!

          I’m extremely into steppers dub but not really into dubstep. Otherwise I would frequently post in your community. Isn’t it crazy, how many sub-sub-genre-niches we have today? Good luck with your community!

            Haha that’s fair and yes it is true. I am very much more into the “real dubstep” sub division of what is now the wider genre of “dubstep” over the more “brostep” styles but you could sub divide things so many times right now I thought it was best just just generalise in the sub name.

            Cheers man! Have a good day :D

              When I get to hear older, more classic dubstep I usually like it a lot because it’s just really good bass music to me. “Mid-cracking Brostep” on the other hand I hate with a passion :D

              I will subscribe and check out your community. See ya and have a nice sunday!

              Edit: You post lots of good stuff there and so much of it! Btw what would be the most important standards of old school dubstep tracks that everyone should know in your opinion?
