Post to Comment Ratio
Post to Comment Ratio
What sort of Post to Comment Ratio would you say is a good range for Lemmy / KBin?
I'm interested in knowing what people think a good ratio of Post to Comments are on a Profile, like what would be a good standard / possibly amazing looking profile have for Post:Comments
I'm guessing it doesn't matter, but could you explain why one value or another for this measurement would be worth aiming for?
I didn't know if having to many posts would just be really bad if you had say 2 comments to 100 posts or something. It's just a curious question tbh
A ratio of exactly 5.243 repeating comments per post. No more no less.
Sounds like an interesting ratio, I'll have to see if I can get it to 5.243 for a while.
Need a ratio? Why not the Golden ratio?
I guess the golden ratio works lol
The bigger the numbers the better. We always need more engagement, especially quality posts and questions.
Thanks that's good to know, I'll try and keep active as much as possible to get more and more out there over time <3
Who cares? Some people are more knowledgable on some subjects than others, and everyone interacts at a different level than anyone else.
Fair enough, I was just trying to ask a question of what sort of ratio is a goodish ratio but I understand where your coming from, Thank you.
I don't think it really matters. Different people contribute in different ways.
If someone has no comments, though, I might think they are a bot.
Fair enough
Depends on the content. There are a lot of people trying to build up these communities and I don't expect them to start the conversation on each post. But it is good to see some engagement once a conversation forms.
That said I'm never really paying that close of attention to it and hadn't really thought about it until reading your question.
Yeah, It's good to see that people really want to push a community to grow.
I'm guessing that there's a natural value that could indicate a healthy community, but I don't think that any artificial attempt to get to that value would work long term.
Yeah from what I've seen we haven't worked that out yet, especially as it will change over time and I believe that we are higher on comments than posts as of the moment with most people's ratio.
Hello there, and welcome to our community! I hope you like it in here.
Could you please paraphrase your post title as a question? It’s our first rule. Thank you :)
Ok, I can try my best.
I'm intrested in knowing what people think a good ratio of Post to Comments are on a Profile, like what would be a good standard / possibly amazing looking profile have for Post:Comments
I hope that explains it, I'll edit the post now
I used to comment a lot more than I would post back on Reddit, but I've been putting in an effort to try to build up communities here, both my own and others. So I've been scraping all my old pictures to find useful content, and as a result, have more posts than comments.
That sounds amazing, is the hope to slowly remove your old Reddit account or just leaving it and moving over to Lemmy / Kbin?
You know I thought about deleting my account, but with a combination of nostalgia and the hope that some of my comments would still be useful led me to decide to just leave it in stasis.
So far, pretty much everything I've posted on Lemmy has been new OC, but I think I'll start scraping and reposting some of my old reddit posts eventually.
