We need to be more active about commenting!
I notice on a lot of mags, there is one or two people posting, and either 0, a handful, or quite a bit of upvotes, but no one is really engaging, most the time there are 0 comments.... #fediverse #kbin #lemmy #kbinMeta
Same here. I starting making an effort to post more…but then ran across a weirdo angry I told him not to be a dick to someone after he told them to “fucking die,” and now they’re downvoting literally everything I post and comment, despite me blocking them.
We can encourage commenting, but we’ve also got to strengthen tools to stop harassment.
Agreed, although I must say the quality of the commentary here is far and above what I've seen on other social media, and I'd like that trend to continue.
I want to note that the value of Kbin increases exponentially as you engage and follow each other, and that Boosting can be particularly effective in bringing in more engagement from the Mastodon world.
Also (not sure if this is a bug @ernest), you should know how to get around the magazine filter in the drop-down on your threads and links submission page. If you click when in a kbin magazine or default kbin screen, the menu will only allow you to submit to kbin.social magazines on the instance, not any off-instance communities.
To get around this, go to the off-instance magazine you want to submit to, and it will auto-populate the correct target community on the other instance.
While I know that most of us are focused on expanding kbin.social in particular, spreading the load helps the servers and widens your audience, as well as potential followers, which draws them back to kbin.
