You just have to wait until daily usage grows.

That's the plan. My only worry is people starting to feel I'm too active. I mean, I don't worry about their opinion I just don't want my attempt to have the opposite effect I want it to have ;)

Maybe do some interactive thing to engage users (like the superbowl community recently started a tournament where people can vote for their favourite of two owls evry day)

I had hoped mentioning a new banner/icn would have gathered a little more interest but I probably have not managed to introduce the topic properly. What's the expression in English? You live and learn?

Yeah, you live and learn. Secretly, nobody ever really knows what they're doing. The whole of humanity, everybody, is just doing whatever; throwing random stuff at a wall to see what sticks. That's life and I love how humbling that is.

When you get experience, you learn to recognise what kind of things are more likely to stick to the wall. But than life changes and switches your wall for a different kind of wall and all your presumptions are now wrong. You have to learn it all over again, but you notice that you've developed a nag for finding the patterns. So it took you a lifetime to learn what kind of stuff sticks to your first wall. But you're figuring this second wall out it mere months.

... I'm sorry if I've lost you by now, but I like making analogies haha
