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.
