In my experience, once a community reaches certain size, it grows organically. But reaching that cricial mass is hard.

So I thought that a coordinated “consented white hat brigading” might help. What I mean is for a group of users to focus on one or a few communities for a while trying to get them to that point posting and commenting (quality content).

It should be done asking the moderators for permission first. There may be communities that don’t want to grow this way.

Disclaimer (because I got a comment in a similar post saying “Give it time”): I’m not trying to rush the growth, IMHO people should post as much as they want and not take it as a chore. I’m thiking of focusing the (natural) activity of those users interested in helping small communities (that want to grow).

    but going past that (…) gets real obnoxious with how it saturates “all”.

    I agree. My current strategy is to have list of 10-to-20-ish small communities I think can succeed and try to post to them every day or two.

    I took a look and one of your communities is (since a couple of days ago) on that list: !gameart@sopuli.xyz

    See you there!

        Hoping from community to community is fun and easier than commiting to being a mod in one (or more), so thank you for that :).
