    yeah do the developers want this to be like reddit? They have a donation button for a reason after all also wahts up with the increasing number of users but it doesnt correlate with site activity

      User churn. Online communities are always in a permanent state of decline, activity always falling. New users are coming but they're currently basically just keeping the place at a steady level of activity. In order for new users to be producing more activity for the site the quantity of incoming users must be higher than the user churn itself.

          Being everywhere in social media is precisely what it needs, yes. Achieving that requires actually having resources of use that people elsewhere online want to link to though and building those takes time. Things like c/tactics will become resources that don't exist elsewhere that will be referred to often. Piggy backing on waves of influencer audiences is probably the largest ROI in terms of time invested and user waves though. Attracting influencers to come do Chapo interviews with the userbase will result in their userbases coming to Chapo to take part in the interviews and a portion of those waves of people would find various things they enjoy during their visit that causes them to re-visit later. Lots of leftist influencers are out there with hundreds of thousands in their audiences, we just need the right strategy to actually get them to come here, probably start with smaller ones and work upwards.

          These are just thoughts I personally had for the record. I'm not an admin or even a sitewide mod.

            Time to get the tiktok house to promote chapo.chat so we can lead the gen z revolution.

            But on a serious note you're right, we need more visibility on the internet
