Hey folks (if folks there be)! I’m one of the new mods for this small community. I’m not by nature a huge poster of content (too many interactions with STRIVES, too many briefings on CUI/ITAR/Limited Rights 🤐)… but I feel like y’all are even tighter-lipped than me.
So. I’m going to throw this post out, looking for signs of life. Interested to know whether there’s a niche this community could be filling, interested to know whether the content creators have migrated back to Reddit. Interested to know if there’s a feature or element of the site that is hindering participation.
If this goes unanswered, I’m probably going to propose to have the community eliminated (is that even a thing?) or taken private and held in trust for the next group that want to have a go. A dusty, inactive channel is a bad look when the agency and the world of space in general is so vibrant.
Thoughts?
They always say that the breakdown is something like 1% of people post, 9% comment on posts, and 90% read/lurk. My experience with space/NASA communities is that an even smaller percentage post, but a bigger percentage comment on those posts.
Like someone else suggested, I think if you post links to NASA-related news and programs, you’ll see a decent amount of activity.
