    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.

      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!

      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…
