Why or why not? If yes, do you have any suggestions on how to achieve that?

    Lemmy’s problem is so many groups just don’t have enough regulars that look, maybe post, or maybe comment. You go back every few days you seen almost nothing new and you just stop going. I’ve noticed that a group will regain some life only because a new user will start posting interesting stuff. But then they get board and also move on.

    1. Suggestions - turn this group into a combination of sex questions, sex gifs and pictures, sex stories. It could be made into THE group for sex stuff on Lemmy.

    2. Offer frequent group members the ability to be mods here. Many frequent users got board and left. A person is more likely to stick around if they are a mod and dedicated to the growth of a group

      There are already communities for all that kind of content. Creating one more would just increase the bloat. We don’t need to change existing spaces into something else, just concentrate users and have a way of guiding new people into existing communities, to avoid even more duplicates.

      I also don’t see the point on promoting people to mods, or why that would make anyone want to stick around. The average user already doesn’t want the responsibility of uploading content, why add the responsibility of moderating content on top of that? Not only that, but there’s nothing correlating mods to helping a community grow. What matters in that is people interested in contributing.
