Apparently me and @[email protected] posted this seconds between each other. Thanks for the ping though, Akutsu-san is in my top three running Japanese romcoms!
Is it just me, you, and @[email protected] carrying this community? Kinda feels like it some days, even though I'm not as active as I should be. Maybe if we had some sort of Discord-esque community, but hosted on FOSS software, it'd be a little more active? Idk
The vast majority of people only vote and don't comment or submit. Lemmy is a bit more transparent about this than reddit is in that the sidebar will tell you how many people interacted in some way (usually just votes) with the community in the past day, week, month, 6 months. So, you and I are the 1% of users.
This makes sense. Is there any way you'd suggest that might drive engagement to change that?
The only realistic way I think is just to grow the total number of users so that the 1% grows as well. However, I am more than open to ideas if people in the community have them. I actually think this might be easier for the anime community than the manga community. An idea I have been kicking around in my brain is organizing a rewatch of a classic series or something like that.
Just a sidenote - I find it interesting that the number of anime community members is ~3X the number of manga members. This almost exactly matches the ratio between the two subreddits.
