Hello /m/cybersecurity folks! Wanted to get a pulse check on those who use this particular community. I mod both here at Fedia as well as at infosec.pub for /cybersecurity. I run a few weekly threads (e.g. Mentorship Monday) at infosec.pub and have tried to run those same weekly threads here but they get barely any traction, whether that be because they are redundant with infosec.pub or because people here are just not that active yet. For those who main Kbin/Fedia, is there anything you’d like to see that I can help with (weekly threads, community engagement style posts, etc…)? For those who sub here and at infosec.pub, is there anything Kbin adds that you feel is worth pointing out?

Unless some folks come out in favor of keeping the weekly threads here at Fedia, I will stop them and focus on having those threads over at infosec.pub.

Cheers and happy threadiversing!

I didn't come from Kbin and I mostly just lurk here, but I do have an observation.

This is the only post in this community in the last 12 hours. Looking back around a month, there are only a few posts to this community per week. I subscribed to it because I like following Cybersecurity topics, but people trying to find new communities to follow might view it as "inactive" and avoid adding this to their subscriptions list.

Maybe Kbin handles this a bit differently, but here on Lemmy, all content from a community is only delivered to subscribers after they have subscribed. In other words, if I had only just subscribed to this community right now, I'd probably have no idea this post was even created.

With less people subscribing, you have less reach to people that know this community has content, and it becomes a bit of an unfortunate cycle.

I think your weekly threads are a good idea, but I think you may want to start crossposting links to this community to other communities and instances to get people to subscribe, so this one can grow. That will probably naturally drive more people to these weekly threads.
