Ugh. Joe Rogan is what dumb people think a smart person sounds like.

15 minutes? Amateur.

Nope. Years of experience hiding in the bathroom from my kids.

I'm trying! I created a community for fans of professional/competitive cycling a month ago. Thirty subscribers so far, but only one single comment in the time, and it was pointing out an error I made (no complaint, it was a fair point). I'll keep at it for a while, but it's hard (and demotivating) trying to have a one sided conversation.

For sure, and I definitely lurk more than I post. In my case, I was hoping there would be a little more engagement, because it only take a few active people in a community for it to become self-sustaining. I'll keep at it!

I still look at Reddit daily. There's insufficient niche content here for it to be a reddit replacement unless you're only into memes, linux, or radical left politics. I'll be happy to make the switch complete when there are communities active enough to replace the ones on reddit.
