how do you start a simblr acc? any tips? love ur theme & aesthetics!!!
Well thank you, that’s very sweet!
I don’t know, really. I’m not a simblr, I flit between games, sometimes for months at a time. I’m a semi-simblr at best.
I’ve seen advice in the past like “pick a content theme and stick with it” or “put out regular content to keep people interested” (whether that’s cc, videos, cc finds, or just posting screenshots), but tbh I don’t think either of those are hard and fast rules because I do neither and somehow amassed quite a lot of obviously daft followers (whom I love, in their daftness).
Of course, followers isn’t the goal. Well, I suppose it can be if you want. But if I had just 1 follower I’d still be posting all my screenshots because after I take them I want to do something with them, and putting them online as some kind of testament to the fact it was a moment I had and here it is forever makes sense to me.
One thing I would suggest is making your theme as accessible as possible. You can still have interesting or even weird design elements in that, but making everything easy to read, with colours that work well, and a good and obvious structure to any tags and pages, will make visitors to your simblr have a pleasant experience and be more likely to hang around and come back again. idk if my theme fulfils those goals. I sometimes think it’s a bit too busy and weird, but the text is very clear to read and everything is ordered with lots of descriptive tags, so hopefully people don’t have too many problems. You’re unlikely to ever have a theme that 100% of people like, though, so do make sure it’s something you’re personally happy with and unless there are genuine issues with accessibility ignore the haters.
I think people get most out of the simblr community if they actively engage with it. That doesn’t mean you have to start putting out cc or making videos or providing some kind of service to the community. It can be something as simple as talking to people. I’m sure you have a handful of people you particularly like to follow, so maybe reply to their posts sometimes, join in with any conversations that are happening. Don’t be upset if you don’t always get a reply back though, either via an inbox ask, instant message, or reply under a dashboard post: sometimes people are too busy to reply to everything, and sometimes people just don’t know how to respond, either because they don’t have anything else to add, don’t have an answer, or feel awkward and aren’t great at communicating. We all have moments like that, so if it happens to you it’s nothing personal, don’t get upset.
My biggest and most important piece of advice is to simply do what makes you happy. You are your number one fan. You’re the person you do all of this for. Make yourself happy, do it because you want to and not because you feel you have to. The rest will surely follow.
