Should we start spreading the word in order to grow this website? I really want a replacement for Reddit, and my boyfriend has found a replacement in Voat for quite a while now.
I have voiced my concerns with that choice for quite a while. He says he's just there because of their freedom of speech, but when I told him about Phuks he said he didn't really like how little content there was. I know it seems selfish of me by saying that I want the site to succeed to get my boyfriend to come over to this side, but I really do want the site to succeed for everyone else to!
I really want to help out in any way to get this site to take off. Is there a place to brainstorm ideas on how to spread the word?
Disclaimer: I have been drinking tonight.
It's a legitimate question. I am not sure what kind of timetable the admins (@polsaker @pembo210) have in mind for growing.
It's something they (and really, all of us), want to do, but there are a lot of factors to consider. I know a couple - increased costs from more traffic coming in, potato servers possibly being overloaded, and some kind of "takeover" where a number of people (maybe like 30+ is enough, not really sure) come in and kind of "take over" the whole place (a la Voat some years ago, in a way).
I think for right now, the best is likely to continue what we've been doing, in keeping it small and being selective in who we invite. More activity from many of us (myself included) should also help.
And as always, coding/monetary donations are good too.
