Hello everyone,

Basically the title.

In my case, I’m trying to address the regularly brought up issue about Lemmy/Kbin only being about memes, tech and news.

Hence, I’m trying to post regularly on

As we all know, growing a community is hard, but I hope that over time they will become more populated.

    Hiya! I just visited this community ([email protected]) and wanted to point out that the daily threads on a tiny community make up more noise than valuable content. The active threads are 100 % bot-generated prompts with 0 replies, which is very discouraging. I’d recommend having at most one per week, and otherwise trying to fill the community with information or questions rather than megathreads like these :)

      Thanks for your insight. The daily threads are an important aspect to how we want the community to be organized. The users there are accustomed to this type of organization. The alternative is something like https://thesimplecorner.org/c/wicked_edge, where there’s a new post for each “shave of the day”. The more users you have, the more cluttered it gets.

      With the current traffic that we have, daily threads might be overkill, but we want to be set up for success from the start. As it stands, you can open one thread to read everyone’s “shave of the day” posts, make conversation, etc. You can scroll and see everyone’s posts instead of clicking “back”, looking for the next one, opening them in a bunch of different tabs, etc.
