I think the word you're looking for is friends. Hubski has a lot of friends. Cause it's a friendly place. Reddit's power-users have infamy and power. We have history and humor. Nobody is trying to take control of anything here.
With a quick glance at your profile, you've got some interesting shares, and some chill music posted. You seem like a cool person. But I've never seen you, ever, on this website. I would totally include you if I'd ever met you before. We're all chillin' at this bar dude. If you walk in all alone and sit in the corner, I might not notice you to ditch my group and go see if you're a cool person or not. You gotta come up and drink with us, not blame us for spending time with each other and not you. It's middle school, it's high school, it's college, it's the office, it's the party, it's Hubski, it's life. Nothing new here, except the fact that you can literally find a common interest with someone at this table, no matter what. It couldn't be easier. Start your own conversation, and speak up.
I've tried starting a narrative project that seemed to interest only me; it was my failed #45thworldproblems.
I have maybe 12 tags I've only posted once to that were ignored. 8bit has like 25 chapters of a story he's worked on for nearly half a year, and maybe 5 people read it religiously. Try again, with respect, just quit being a baby :D
I dunno, you started off very cryptically. This is the most conversation I've seen out of you. #45thworldproblems was interesting, but after repeated attempts to engage (from my recollection anyway) and getting little interaction, it's pretty obvious why interest ebbed. This site is all about interaction. If you don't play, no one will play back.
That project annoyed the shit out of me and I found it pretentious as all hell. I mean, maybe you find my poetry jazz pretentious as all hell so we're even, but if you wanna know why people were turned off, maybe I wasn't the only one who felt that way. Maybe the problem is that you were driving for recognition in the first place. In addition, as I recall, at least one of your posts blew up and was badged, and people began to explore other posts under your tag as a result. In general I noticed your posts ticking up my feed for some time. I'll admit their popularity seemed relatively short-lived but you could have also worked to prevent or mitigate that, I guess. Personally, I thought you were posting too prolifically, too enigmatically, and too ostentatiously, but don't take my advice on it - for some reason, even though about two people read my blog unless it's a really, really good post, that doesn't stop me from putting it up there anyway. You should post things because you want to share them (or, for AskHubski, get feedback/opinion/whatever). You shouldn't post for attention.
