"It's a bit of a loop we're stuck in: Fandom will go where the activity is. As long as there's more activity on Tumblr, that's where we'll stay.
If people are more active on Dreamwidth, more people will go there, because there will be more activity. But first we have to be active there. And while there aren't a lot of people to be active for, it can feel a lot like shouting into the void, which gets demoralizing quick. Which means you end up doing less, which means there's less activity overall, which means you end up doing less, which means there's less activity overall, which means.... Well. You get the picture.
I speculated on another post about the idea of some sort of fandom-themed weekly questions community as a way to start generating some momentum, but I remain unlikely to start such a comm myself, and especially to run one. Still, if I shout about it long enough into the void, maybe someone will hear the echoes and pick up the idea?"
