Oh no! I liked your pigeon post. I’m raising mourning doves on my balcony… Actually I’m just throwing out hulled sunflower seeds every morning, but the family that eats them is up to 12 members now. Maybe not for long, because a young redtailed hawk has joined the neighborhood, and last night we heard a great horned owl for the first time ever.
I thought about it as a way to encourage communities members to post at least once a week. Can even just be a scheduled discussion thread, the objective is to keep it active.
And if even once a week is not doable, then maybe it’s time to consider consolidating with a more active community on the same topic?
I would probably just suggest merging the plantid community to a more general gardening community.
I see where you come from with “forced activity”, but on the other hand, if someone wants to post and sees that the last post is 1 month old, they might doubt that the community is active or they are just going to post into the void.
That’s an interesting question to be honest. There might be some psychological studies between those two scenarios, I’ll make a post about this question on [email protected] to see if people have any scientific studies on that topic.

It does, but I try to mostly list communities with at least 1 post in the last week, this one hasn’t been active for a month
