I notice on a lot of mags, there is one or two people posting, and either 0, a handful, or quite a bit of upvotes, but no one is really engaging, most the time there are 0 comments.
I think in order to foster the growth of our community, we must try to engage more with the people generating the content, it’s helpful and encouraging for them, and also a positive sign for people who are coming into the fediverse. I post quite a bit, and comments always make me feel like it was worth it!
Also, keep upvoting! Someone responded to your post or comment, and you’re just grateful for that or agree with them? Upvote them! Engage! That’s all :)
@euphoria I agree, It seems like most people don’t want to comment and interact which is really annoying when trying to build a Mag.
been there, making a mag that grows but youre the only one posting and no one is engaging and its like uhuhughugh. i wanna contribute and i do, but sometimes it feels like i am talking to myself
Just checked your mags and saw @MagHub !
I had been wanting a place right here on kbin to help me discover more local communities, this is perfect!
now im embarrassed about a specific one i have in there lmfaooo. but anyway, thanks! :)
@euphoria Yeah I try to find already made mags such as gaming ones but it seems like a lot of single-game topic ones such as for GTA seem to be pretty dead or the OC of the Mag seems to not be active on Kbin anymore making it feel like it might end up just being another unmoderated dead-end in the Fediverse.
It’s good that we have room to grow especially as it seems it would be good for gaming alone but it doesn’t show we are a good system to move to if Reddit and even smaller platforms seem to have better engagement on the Forums than something that is interconnected between Instances.
yea i agree, not a good look for us and for newcomers trying out fedi.
