I see many communities that got started in the last ten days. Sadly, some that I'm most interested in are not that active. Some are not active at all.

What are you doing to help your community? How do you go from lurking to contributing? Spreading the word?

Also, what's for breakfast?

In the begining I was rolling through the subs that I'm interested in that weren't getting a lot of engagement and posting something, and trying to engage with some other content that was on there. I'm doing it when I have time. Hopefully others are doing the same.

We're getting there, it def feels as though these instances have more legs than the Twitter Masto experience in the fall. Just gotta keep engaging and sharing content. The emphasis though should be on engaging on pre-existing content, with meaningful comments. Just dropping in and saying "interesting article" probably isn't going to be helpful.

Correct on that. Every magazine/community needs wise souls sharing their knowledge and insights on things. Ask Historians and some science subreddits were a big draw for that.

We could also use good story tellers who make for some interesting reading in the comments.

Given time all of that will happen here.

It would be nice to have assurances that if the instance you are on goes dark then another instance can take care of you and your stuff. I don't know enough about the concept and workings to know if that's the case.
