@Hey_Beth @NerdRage42 @[email protected] @BlackAzizAnansi Sorry but if we're talking about a niche or specific interest a smaller user base IS going to limit engagement.
For example, on Twitter I may find several thousand fans of my local single A short-season baseball team, whereas here there might be a dozen (if that).
Not saying it is impossible, but there is a reason why critical mass is important to a viable social network.
It also isn't a given that we NEED that insane level of engagement.
