A couple days ago I wrote an article about us having to up our game in terms of our interaction on the Leofinance platform. In it, I surmised since we are close to attracting people from Ethereum, we all need to do our part to increase the interaction on this site to make it more appealing to the newer people.

Here is the post if you did not have a chance to read it:

In this article, I wanted to expound upon the idea a bit more.

Comments

It all starts with commenting. This is a vital component to increasing the engagement across our platform. There is nothing that screams "dead site" than a bunch of articles with absolutely no comments. If we can put a number of comments on each post, this will help to provide the impression that this site is active and engaging.

One of the reasons this is so important is to encourage newer people to start commenting too. If we can do that, this will help to expand the focus of the site.

A vital piece in this is the fact that not everyone is apt to write articles. However, many will want to benefit from what Leofinance has to offer financially, thus an alternate path needs to be pursued.

Here is where commenting enters the picture. While writing articles might not be the forte for many, anyone can post a pertinent comment. This opens the door for everyone who comes to Leofinance to participate.

Upvoting

We are aware that the reward curve on Leofinance was changed to be linear. This allows curators to receive 50% of their upvotes. It makes manual curating more profitable for those who engage in it.

Over the past couple weeks, a lot of LEO was staked as more people want to get into the reward game of curating.

Here is where the above comes into play. Over the past few days, I am making a concerted effort to upvote more comments. Knowing that people are doing their best to increase the engagements on Leofinance deserves reward in my opinion.

Think of it this way: if a person can get .25 to .5 LEO on many upvotes throughout the day, this will all add up. When someone is new, getting a consistent flow of LEO is vital. Now picture this person putting up 10-15 comments each day.

As for the rest of us, how many comments are we posting on a daily basis? It is encouraging to see the numbers increasing. Perhaps @dalz will do a post, breaking out the number of comments made using Leofinance over time to see how we are doing overall.

In the meantime, it is up to us to commit to adding what we can with both comments and upvotes. Are each of us using our daily alloted votes? This is crucial for newer content providers. Small upvotes, over time, become bigger.

Passing it along is the main focus of this platform. We can share our knowledge, our financial stake, and our excitement for the future with all newer people who are arriving.

This is something rare in the world of blockchain. It seems as if many are still stuck in the competition mindset. This is something that we have to work on breaking. We are all here to help each other.
