The number of subscribers has reached 311 Still very little participation in !journaling@sh.itjust.works , we’re slowly getting close to a hundred more subscribers since the day I started trying to revive the community (which is great). But there is very little participation (quality content, but still very little).
I realize it’s a niche community but I do wonder what I could do differently to encourage more people to post so the community would really start to feel alive instead of being kept on life support, like I feel it is now.
That said, I’m in no hurry so I’ll keep on regularly posting only less often than I was doing—seeing how things are not moving much I reckon there is not much use in me keeping posting stuff every few days, and not even once every week.
Please, don’t be sorry. I’m real glad you gave it a shot and participated in the community (thx!). There is no requirement to be a devoted journaler to participate. Also, maybe later you will to give another try, who knows?
BTW, if your realization is something you would like to discuss more do not hesitate to do it there too. Not enjoying keeping a journal is 100% legit, no matter the reasons, and I’m pretty sure it could be interesting to discuss it with others.

Well, I’m trying to help out but in the end I’m not really a journaler, nor do I have any desire to become one. I’m sorry.
