    Step 1: post content to fediverse sites Step 2: engage with existing content in a useful and meaningful way

    If you build it they will come. Part of what makes reddit successful is that a good portion of Google searches lead to a reddit thread. Why? Because the content is there.

      That’s really it. We don’t need millions of people. 100k or more will do. People just need to engage and create in meaningfully like you said.

      Edit: 100k truly active people. Not total users.

      This is essentially why there are a small number of “legacy” web sites that never got subsumed into the oligopoly - they have communities, the communities host content creators, if you want the fresh content you have to be where they are.

      The thing that allowed communities to end up on Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter was mostly a matter of traditional forum hosting being a challenging, technical thing with ongoing maintenance tasks and one account per forum you wanted to visit, instead of “button press and we do the rest”.
