I'm not too frustrated anymore (as I was a month or two ago) about the lack of posters, and have pretty-much just resigned myself these days to people treating EGN+ as my personal blog.

Maybe in the future, contributors will organically develop and/or I'll hit upon some method to get more people involved, I don't know.

I think part of the problem is that while plenty of people can appreciate the cool art of 'BD' and the little tidbits I write up, there's not many people across the Lemmysphere who are all that knowledgeable themselves about Euro GN's, and who also want to spend time posting.

This actually kind of goes back to my disappointment with Reddit users, in that I thought more would jump ship after learning about the many ways they've been disrespected and monetised by Reddit mgmt through various means. I.e., with a bigger userbase here, chances of more engagement with niche communities like ours would increase a bit. Ah, well.
