One thing I really liked reddit for was reading news and talking about it. I have stopped posting or commenting there now and am in the process of slowly wiping my posting history... but I still browse it for current events a decent bit as it's just a lot more active than over here.

I think my new goal is that whenever I see a news post over there I would really like to comment about, I'm gonna post it over here in a relevant magazine and start a comment in that new Kbin thread instead. Seems like a really easy way to nudge myself into getting more content going over here.

Just kind of a Kbin meta shower thought I guess. Cheers.

Just in general if we want the Threadiverse to be viable, and by viable I just mean maybe 1% (or even 0.1%) as much engagement as Reddit, a larger percentage of "us" need to produce content, whether links, text threads, or comments. I try to post anything creative I've done (not much), try to engage in comment sections. I've got one community I try to make sure to contribute to daily ( @cfb and I absolutely use your tactic of porting over links, though I find I recoil from the bots who simply bring over everything), and another I mod ( @askamericans ). That last one, I may have sort of painted myself into a corner though, since as an American my questions are unlikely to sustain interest, but I and several others are there waiting to pour out the Cheese Whiz of our cultural knowledge for the benefit of any whose ballpark nachos are in need.

Yeah I definitely agree organic porting of content vs bots is gonna have a better impact. I'm running a few communities right now too and am basically the only one posting but eventually I expect others will join in.
