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.

I agree. I guess this community needs to attain that critical mass.

Though my suggestion on lack of posting rules still stand. I am still not clear if I should post about current affairs.

Feel free to post current affairs if its related to India.

We also have [email protected] for news related to India

Interesting. Are these communities related or moderated by the same people? Asking as I feel it would make sense to have one community initially for all India related posts/discussions, and branch out as we grow or when things get difficult to moderate.

Regardless, thanks for pointing me to the relevant community. I will probably post news articles there, and limit the discussions on those within that community.

This can be a place to have overarching discussions/posts on phenomena or culture.

Yeap, and that is why we don't stop you from posting news articles here as well.
