Itna sannata kyu hai bhai? [Why is it so silent here?]

Arrived here after reading the post on lemmy.ml.

However, the community is not as active as I hoped it would. Not many posts, and most posts have zero comments.

What do you think could drive more engagement here?

My initial thoughts on this.

The community could be more active if the rules and moderation policies are made known.

What are the rules for posting here? Are news articles allowed? Or is it just general articles? What about discussion posts? What topics are allowed for discussion?

For example, I wanted to post about the recent events around casteism in Madhya Pradesh. But I wasn’t sure if it met the policies and rules. Moreover, recent articles are about general topics or listicles, so I ended up dropping the idea.

You make a very good point on accessibility.

Though I wasn’t as surprised about how popular Reddit was or how active Indians were on Reddit.

A lot of people, myself included, naturally started using Reddit as it was more convenient than being active on multiple forums/boards. We joined to participate in niche subreddits and participated in general subreddits like r/india as a side effect.

Of course, Reddit became more akin to traditional social media over the years, and it brought in even more people.
