What can we do to grow this community? so far the mass effect community on this website is small, but has potential. what ways can we grow it into something sizable and worthwhile to post in?

I try my bes to do that.
I think it has to grow organically. It took Reddit over 18 years to get to 500 million active users. When you have that many users, you’re bound to have a healthy number of users in niche communities. For Lemmy, we just have to give it some time by continuing to post in our community.
For the curious, this is what Reddit looked like in 2005: http://web.archive.org/web/20050924153730/http://reddit.com/
Thats interesting.
reddits content looked so much higher quality.
The content will gradually come.
Super late to the game on commenting here, but I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you asking this question!
I reached out to the Reddit Mass Effect team early on to let them know this community existed for anyone who might want to jump ship, and got a generic “thanks for letting us know.” Which, hey, that’s cool, I get it.
I think we’re on the right track, though. We’re only a month old. I was tickled to see so much content having been posted and an increase in overall engagement, as I’m just back online today after being offline for a week. Organic growth like this is the best kind we can hope for.
Building a community takes time and getting to know one another. Come to the page, engage with the content. May take some intentional effort at first, but I’m encouraged by the display we have so far. We’re nothing if not an engaged fanbase!
At least we are having growth
