A - But not nearly pushing as hard as I used to + I’m largely the only submitter on my comm. Sharing links 2-3 times a day doesn’t seem to differ much from 1 time a day, so that’s my new target.

I totally agree that hitting critical mass comes with some downsides. I’m hoping that I’ll be a little insulated from that if it happens since I try to be more active on smaller communities, but there’s always some bleed over.

Thanks for the tip w/ video too! Having to convert is a mild pain, but at least I’ve got the option and can script away some of the trouble. It worked fine on the website (mobile and desktop) but seems to fail to load entirely with the Eternity for Lemmy app for Android. I’m not sure how many people use that anyway. Maybe the upvotes will tell.

EDIT: Seems like the upstream Lemmy repo merged a fix for the way it handles webm files.

Yeah, that sounds about right. FWIW the original paizuri sub (which I don’t moderate) barely has any comments even on its biggest posts in the past year, so it’s not like I’m doing much worse. 😋

I just want other people to post so I can add to my own collection. For now, I’m just rediscovering things I’ve downloaded or artists I should be following, but it’d be better to get from others too.

It’s mostly me posting in !paizuri@lemmynsfw.com, with votes on the posts being either on the cusp of or just barely into double digits for a 400-ish subscriber community. The rough part is that while the number of subscribers continues to grow, the number of people posting and commenting has not. I exchange at most 1 comment or so from time to time with 1 other user.

The slow but steady subscriber count growth keeps me from giving up and stopping, but I wonder when I’ll start to see engagement from more than just me. I’m thinking of trying to encourage more low-effort engagement, like [DISC] posts where people can comment with links to doujinshi with related content, but haven’t committed to it yet.

Anecdotally, growing and maintaining a hentai-oriented community feels pretty challenging. The instance as a whole is generally IRL-oriented, looking at Local+Active (which isn’t a bad thing, esp. w/ the OC posters!). Other hentai posters have either left in search of or been banned for posting content they’d ordinarily post elsewhere. While the reasons are understandable, I think it creates some barriers to visibility and posting in hentai communities.

EDIT: The UX around GIF/Video posting also seems to suck enough for me to not post any to avoid people just seeing still frames instead of an animation, but that’s seemingly more of a Lemmy problem than anything to do w/ this specific instance.

Thank you~ I’ve updated my sidebar to refer to the correct rule number when reminding users to not post any instance-wide banned materials like underage or non-con content etc. etc.

Looking forward to the docs page getting built out progressively to help navigate some of the nuances around some of the more “gray” rules that are harder to adjudicate on. It’s a lot of work, and I’d imagine no user will read it right off the bat, but it’ll be helpful to refer them to when making those judgement calls and referring users to when they (hopefully) accidentally post banned content. The thought and depth of the work is very appreciated.

Here’s a copy of the latest sidebar from !paizuri if anyone wants to adapt it for their own use.

It covers most of the points that @securitas covered above, aside from the two-strike rule and the additional exposition around the underage warning. (I also picked up some the verbiage around the extreme content, thanks.)

Paizuri is the art of tittyfucking. 🍒🍆

#### Rule 1 - Paizuri Only
Only posts of **hentai** images/animations of Paizuri/Tittyfuck/Breastsex or whatever are allowed.

Need examples? Check what's already posted.

**Do not** post extreme content like gore, vore, or scat.

#### Rule 2 - Fictional Only
Illustrations, animations, & 3D content only.

If you want real-life paizuri work, try elsewhere like [!porn@lemmynsfw.com](https://lemmynsfw.com/c/porn) .

#### Rule 3 - No Underage
Per **instance-rules**, do not post anything involving canonically underage participants.

See [Rule 1 (🔞 Age Requirement) in the sidebar](https://lemmynsfw.com/) for details.

#### Rule 4 - Relevant Titles
Keep your titles relevant; note at least the **character** and/or series plus **the artist**.

**Official media** (e.g., H-anime) don't need to list an artist.

Use "Original" if the character depicted is an **original work** from the artist.

#### Rule 5 - No AI
Post to other AI-centric subs like [!aigen](https://lemmynsfw.com/c/aigen).

#### Rule 6 - Be Chill.
Don't be an asshole.

We're just here to share good paizuri pics. If you wanna shit on someone because you don't like their post, just don't.
