At this point, we’re beyond the big wave of new users in early- to mid-June with the protests against Reddit’s API policies. (I was one of them!). There was lots of enthusiasm, a bunch of new communities, and lots of posts.

But it seems like a lot of the activity is dying down. How are you (and your communities) doing? How have you been keeping your communities active?

    I just try to post regularly, I show for once a day, but it’s more like 4-5 times a week. I also try to always reply when someone comments on my posts. To me it feels more engaging to actually reply to someone versus just giving an up vote. And makes me feel more welcomed in a community.

    Also, I’m not overly strict on OnlyFans girls posting, as long as it is quality content. I remember people on Reddit bitching that they “ruined” a lot of subs. But honestly, they are the ones keeping a lot of these niche communities alive. For the communities I moderate, I just ask for it to be labeled [OC] and for post to not link directly to subscriber sites. So far they have been the ones driving the most traffic and engagement.

    Edit: One more thing, I try to regularly find communities related to mine and link them on the sidebar. That way people with similar interests can find other communities they might enjoy. I think if more communities start doing this is can really help the smaller ones grow.
