I’ve tried to participate but it doesn’t seem to encourage others to do the same. There’s just not enough people on here…

All the people saying there is no content, should also create the content they wish to see. It’s the only way to grow, even if we’re talking to ourselves for a bit.

Totally get it, I find myself being as guilty of failing to adhere to my own advice!

I’m trying! I created a community for fans of professional/competitive cycling a month ago. Thirty subscribers so far, but only one single comment in the time, and it was pointing out an error I made (no complaint, it was a fair point). I’ll keep at it for a while, but it’s hard (and demotivating) trying to have a one sided conversation.

you’re super valuable for the community, just know that. It’s a most thankless job but it’s such an amazing one to be done.

Absolutely understand, it’s daunting and honestly hard to do. I tried to make it as non-accussatory as possible, as I’m sure all of us can try harder. The site which shall not be named kinda made it easy to lurk lol

For sure, and I definitely lurk more than I post. In my case, I was hoping there would be a little more engagement, because it only take a few active people in a community for it to become self-sustaining. I’ll keep at it!
