I'm just the janitor. I don't mind. I only ever have issues to resolve in !3dprinting@lemmy.world. The flop of !unfinishedprojects@lemmy.world after people seemed enthusiastic was a bit of a bummer. I'm not sure if my posts intimidated, or my config of the community failed to resonate, or maybe it is just me. !wotd@lemmy.world is basically me taking notes to expand my vocabulary and posting those here.

For me, Lemmy can't be a project I commit to like those of you that really build the community super actively. I love y'all for doing that. I need the social community part for my own stability, and try to contribute something meaningful when it seems appropriate.

I do find it interesting how Lemmy has evolved over the last 6 months or so. The demographic has shifted somewhat, gauging by how people grasp and respond to my more abstracted thoughts. There seems to have been an influx of a younger audience especially from shitjustworks. It could be that they were always here but not actively engaging or in ways that I encounter.

I'm also more aware of the delay of the bot transporters mechanism between instances and how it can delay interactions between instances.

Seems on-topic for the community at least

It might actually be worth setting up a script that posts wiktionary's word of the day to !wotd@lemmy.world, or at least doing it by hand. Coming from my other comment, it'll probably help to using "pre-existing" content like that.
