What sort of content was driving the traffic on Reddit?
Are we doing that here?
My first time using Reddit was after I started reading Marx and Marxists. I’d read Capital and quite a few other texts (no Lenin, yet). But I just could not quite understand DiaMat. So I googled it and was taken to r/communism101, from where I found r/communism. First I searched both subs for every post on DiaMat and HiMat, then arranged by top posts and read almost everything I could. It was informative and helpful. It kept me around.
Not everyone’s like me, but… If people come here and we’ve got the right content, they’ll stay.
Obviously I think we’ve already got the right content and community atmosphere – so this isn’t meant as criticism. And there is likely a danger in growing too fast but if we do want to grow…
Some of our good discussions happen when someone posts the right question. Could we plan out discussion topics and tackle them from different perspectives? It may be worth us hashing out some ideas for topics / posts so that readers who find their way here, stay. We could pick a topic together in the weekly Juche thread? Maybe it’s better to be spontaneous, idk.
Perhaps we could do Q&As for basic questions in some of our more serious communities?
The right links might help us get traction if some of us did post to Reddit…
"The right links might help us get traction if some of us did post to Reddit…
" This will likely provide the most traction. Imo this site has 2 distinct advantages over Reddit: 1, 90% of users are knowledgeable radicals. 2, content that is inconvenient for the status quo is uncensorable. I think those advantages and Lemmygrad content should be spread to other more popular social media.
