I’m trying not to suck up too much Reddit but IAF content is hard to source without a large community. It’s the diamonds in the rough that make IAF special. Should I dig into the archives once every couple days when it’s dry to keep the content rolling or let it be?

    I think it would be cool if you went through top > all time posts and just picked out your favorites to share here. The more interesting as fuck the post is, the more people will want to comment and engage with it.

    One person’s repost is another person’s first time. Don’t let flamers get to ya.

      Thanks for the kind words.

      Yeah when I got here, there was nothing here. I figured it we didn’t put stuff here, it would never happen. The Reddit group is stuffed with reposts, so I’m not afraid to put more in. (hell it’s not even my community)

      In the main subs people are bringing up the point that we have a lot of links and little discussion. I think that’s something that comes from scale and it won’t truly get better until we have the numbers of eyeballs to make it so. That said, I think it’s not without merit and just posting endless posts without discourse is probably not sustainable in the end.

      Waiting to hear what more people think, my inclination is to pull interesting new and old popular at the rate of at least a couple a day to help keep the community in fresh content while things are slow. I have a couple of other subs that are mine and I’m taking the same kind of temperature there to see how people feel. I figure if I want to stay out of Reddit, I need to help build this place up to make it interesting.

    I think it’s very acceptable, and quite noble of you, if you were to dig and curate a small batch of IAF stuff. My only issue lies in the sheer amount of reposts by bots compared to the small community, and the reposts that require engagement with OP directly like AITA posts.

      Working on it, targeting a couple a day, the signal to noise ratio over there is pretty high, If I run us dry up front, it’s gonna get old fast :)
