I know it's better in theory than Reddit but maaaaan it's so lonely here sometimes! So many communities are just a ghost town. It's so bad that I (normally a lurker) am motivated enough to get out of my cave and post. We need more active text only post subs cause I'm just soo sick of news links :/ we also need more active friend making subs fr.

If anybody is out there, hi ๐Ÿ‘‹. We probably have very different life experiences, but that doesn't mean we can't chat lol

Agree! Thank you for posting. I try to post too, but it's pretty thankless sometimes.

It's just upvotes and comments as thanks.

Sometimes it's nice. Like it takes much less effort to reach the front page of a community than a subreddit. But other times you write all this text and only a few people comment, and you just feel the crickets :/. Now i know how my online zoom teachers feel when they say "unmute your mic" and noone does

I tried posting some stuff for a niche comm a while back. A bunch of upvotes, but no conversation or meaningful comments.

Meanwhile, I post something similar on a niche subreddit and get some great comments, encouragement, and friendly chit-chat. I wish we had that here.
