Or just upvote and comment in positive ways. You don't even have to like it, read it, or care. If you see someone posting anything that appears like a real person in some niche, upvote it every time! That one vote or comment matters to that person and might be the difference between them posting again or not. Encountering no response kills people's efforts and growth. Never be negative. You're only hurting all of us. Assume you do not understand, give the benefit of the doubt, be kind, be empathic. And if you're admin, kick the most negative 0.01% of users that make 90% of the negativity!

Comments on posts go a lot farther than just votes.

Converting a lurker into an active participant greatly increases the chance of continued participation. I'm applying the entry level principal from retail to the user base here. There are always an order of magnitude more entry level customers compared to mid tier. Similarly, there are an order of magnitude more lurkers than participants. That first transaction is the hidden critical factor. Converting in any way is a statistic that, if it were tracked, it will show similar increases across all forms of engagement.

Amazingly well done!

We have niche communities, there are people here who like niche things, most communities just need a driver to kick things off. Someone to post regularly and start driving engagement. Be the change you want to see!

I created !comm_revival@lemmy.dbzer0.com for this, feel free to post if you want to revive communities.

Fedigrow is more for growing your own communities, no? Comm revival just kickstarts it dead communities,, then it can be posted to fedigrow. Ie language learning was pretty dead months ago but it's been revived now, so all future posts go to fedigrow

Seems quite close to be honest 😄
