Hello everyone,

As you all know, /r/PersonalFinance is 99% of people asking questions on how to deal with a specific personal financial issue.

We currently don't have this kind of people here for the moment. I saw someone the other day in !relationship_advice@lemmy.world on a relationship/finance issue that could have posted here, but in the end I guess they got their advise there.

We are getting more and more traction (42th most active community this week on this listing that excludes LW for technical reasons: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active).

Feel free to ask advice if you need any, the community seems more than happy to help.

In the meantime, I'm going to post still another article about GenZ and trading.

Unfortunately I think most Lemmy early adopters are highly correlated to people who have their personal finances in order.

That might actually be very true!

Haha yes fingers crossed more people get into financial problems! :P

If you want you can give me all your funds and create a financial problem for yourself 😏

I'm okay with this.

Sometimes to build a community, kinda need more people to chat. And it's easier for people to chat around a article, versus waiting for someone to open up.

That could be a way indeed

We also have to be responsive to those posting questions, I posed a sincere question the other day and received minimal interaction. Reception like that does not make it enticing for members to bring questions to the community in the future. We will grow though! Really enjoy being here.

Very true! I thought you would get more answers, but I get it slipped through people's feed

[–] GhostCowboy76@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Which definitely happens, I think right now that’s just kind of a Lemmy issue in general while apps and API are getting adjusted. It will get better! But glad to see your post as that kind of attitude will help us grow! Thanks again!

You are welcome!

I just posted a question here. Hope it will help a little :D

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

Oh, great to see you hear! Summit is so nice!

[–] deconstruct@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

This is absolutely true. I don't enjoy hunting down PF articles to post, but I want to keep the community active and growing.
