From my experience with this, I think the proper way to do a #GeneralTopics #forum in the future is to organize the admin team (and first users) well in advance. Get a half-dozen or so admins to design the forum; put some thought into what subjects you want to cover, what rules you want, and so on. Then actually create the thing. All the admins promise to bring at least one other person: that gives you a starting dozen users who are actually committed to the project.
Then take a page from the old #APA scene: post a #minac . (I wonder how many people I just lost there.) Make everyone agree to, say, a min of three posts a week. Maybe one has to be a thread-starter or something.
I'm pretty sure I brought up something like this in a more vague, handwavey way, to @daemon_nova at one point. I don't know if it would work. Many of my contemporaries have checked out on social media as a general thing; the well has just been too poisoned for too long. Many of those who remain aren't people I'd really want to talk to, anyway. I feel pretty lucky to be on labyrinth.zone , so there isn't a pressing need for such a community, anyway...but the formatting would be different enough that it could come across as fresh and distinct from the Mastodon experience.

**DHL raising shipping price surcharge for December**
Starting with December, DHL raises it's "CO2+Maut surcharge" from 0,06€ to 0.18€ per parcel.At least the "Energy Surcharge" stays at the 1.25% introduced for November.
Given that we try to not charge more then what we actually pay for shipping (including packaging), we will change our DHL prices for December accordingly.
