grow!
Imagine if everyone who made this kind of post, made a post on their fav niche sub instead.
literally this. i see a lot of mods of niche communities working their ass off trying to generate content with 0 help, including me. and all people do is complain that they aren’t doing enough, it’s not active enough, while doing nothing to help it grow.
be the change you want to see. contribute to your communities, especially niche ones.
I would like to do this but I’m basically a waste of space, and not really capable of either thought provoking questions or funny/engaging content for the things I want to be part of. I can engage with others, but I’m not unique or creative enough for starting the conversation (same in person actually).
I know this because I tried several times many years ago to run my own Facebook pages for… well I tried various things and got very little engagement on any of it when Facebook pages were peak social media.
I know random facts about random science things that most people don’t understand (I probably don’t either, but I think I do!), but nothing that would actually grow any of the communities I’d like to see grow.
So while it is exactly that easy, it’s not necessarily that easy.
Honestly, even just making lame comments and upvoting is helpful. It shows the people creating things that what they are doing is working which will encourage them and others to post more.
I told my friend about your community. Also the whole infosec instance since he does infosec, and that seems like it might be a good local feed… idk if it’s up his alley, but hopefully!
It’s well beyond me, sadly :(
Wouldn’t fix the problem, the reality is that we’re not many enough. We could grow tenfold and still not be many enough.
Imma growin’ as hard as I can 🌱
Im a shower, not a grower. Kindly with the patience pls
Post y’all. Everybody’s still sorting by new and new comments. Now’s the time to make it happen.
