So let's try this again. My last post sort of got derailed because I am an idiot and used instance instead of community.

Anyway I am here to see what's working for everyone else. I would like to help grow some of the smaller communities I am apart of and looking for ways to be helpful and interactive without straight up having to make my own video content.

Posts that invite comments tend to get comments. That's why the "ask" communities get so much comment traffic. An interesting post might get upvotes, but if there's no call for engagement then people will simply look once and move on.

Upload pictures directly to your posts instead of linking to external content. Folks don't necessarily have time (or interest) to stop what they're doing and go watch a 20-minute video on another site.
