I think it’s fine if we don’t get back to what we have like in r/malaysia, my experience from there is we can only see like a hundred of user commenting and then the 290k user is all lurker and never interact. Our highest post upvote is only around 4500, so around 98.5% of them couldn’t even bother to upvote a post, let alone comment or make an og post. The sub might be big but if you post/comment a lot or interact in the daily thread, the sub is actually pretty small and rather tight-knitted
Yeah, I understand that. Though I think the value of spaces like this is also to curate quality news and resources, which is what I used Reddit for a lot.
I think there’s a lot of good for having a space where people are sharing relevant and interesting news. Even if they’re lurkers, it doesn’t mean they’re not part of the community I guess?
I dunno where I’m leading this point lol. Just that I think everyone, even lurkers have a place as part of the community. Not everyone is social, but I think r/Malaysia & r/Malaysians made it feel like everyone is welcome regardless, and I’d like that feeling to carry on wherever the community goes.
Only just caved into my boycott of Reddit today to see if r/malaysia migrated. Really happy to see that we have!
I think will be a while lah before we get more traction here, but one less comment we make on Reddit, is one less piece of content they get.
