I've said this several times both here and at the other place, but it seems to me there's a big opportunity these days for any particular community posts to be randomly seen on ALL, which obviously has a lot less likelihood at Reddit. As the FV grows, that may be less of a possibility, so jumping on it now seems like a good idea.

So currently, just finding a little bit of good visual content (usually accompanied by a link and or mini-review) and posting once on a near-daily basis seems to keep snagging users without having to do anything else.

I also try to maintain a community index and major keyword searches to make it easier for users to find stuff that might interest them. After nine months of such regular work, there's now a whole bunch of decent content for users from any other platform to dive in to and enjoy for many hours, or longer.

I hope to keep adding content (particular the original content, such as mini-articles & reviews) such that it's going to be harder and harder for the internet to ignore our community. Of course eventually, I plan on flaming out in a supernova of resentment and hurt feelings, deleting everything and erasing all my backups.

(eh, JK about that last part)

Thanks for sharing, definitely my experience as well. Usually, if the content is a bit appealing, it will end up in the 3 first pages of Top of 12 hours
