I’ll just leave the question at that, because I can’t even speculate.

    We’re all here because we left various other social medias for the fediverse. Most of us have some communities we miss from wherever we came from. I miss seeing Dead by Daylight news and memes, so when someone made a Dead by Daylight comm I made an active choice to try and be a poster there, and committed to posting daily for a week, I may have done daily longer don’t remember, but I tried.

    Lots of comms start with one person posting, and then die the same way, so I felt like to go anywhere the Dead By Daylight comm needed more than the owner posting. That comm still ended up dying, but once you have enough posters to attract new ones more naturally you’re set, and can enjoy the community you helped create.

    You can also change comm culture for the better. On an alt I started posting in one of the nsfw comms because I felt the posts there weren’t all they could be. Even posting a few great posts can make other posters feel like they should put a bit more effort into their own, and that effort paid off really fast.

    I think that the primary driver behind people posting daily is to try and change this space for the better, whatever that looks like to them. Whether it’s making new comms, attracting new posters, or trying to change comm cultures lots of good reasons to post more here if you have the motivation.
