Description

Reddit is a huge community for sharing tech news and help. A lot of software has dedicated subreddits, such as Vim (https://www.reddit.com/r/vim) with over 25,000 subscribers.

The LibreOffice subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/libreoffice) only has 977 subscribers, which is tiny for a project of LO's significance. Grow this community gradually by:

  • Posting stories more often there
  • Answering questions from users
  • Contributing better CSS
  • Applying to become a mod

I (/u/themikeosguy) have now been made a moderator on /r/libreoffice after answering some questions and helping to clear up spam. Aim is to encourage more discussion of LO as a project and community and not just use the subreddit as a Q+A forum.

Done some more work on this: proper banner, better icons, better themeing. Also posting more community and news-related content.

100 new subscribers since I became a moderator. Steady growth, if not amazing, but hopefully the newer design and variety of articles will keep this going.

Is this still an ongoing topic that consumes lots of work? Seems you invested some time here and got results, and I tend to close the ticket and merge it with general marketing tasks
If Reddit is a specific site you want to have on the list, let me know :-)

The Reddit community is still small (1,158 subscribers, 325 referrals to blog posts in last month) but growing. Others are posting news and questions so it's not something I have to devote lots of time to -- I just check it once per day. So let's close this now, and keep it as part of general marketing activity along with social media.
