Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.

I like that its smaller, it feels like the Internet used to back in the day. You get to know posters better which is nice

I can understand where they're coming from though. It's nostalgia for the days when forums and MySpace were 'social media' and things were simpler and we actually built camaraderie in online spaces, instead of everyone just trying to be heard in the noise.

But I mean, you can still get that in individual communities, actually. Even on Reddit, you could expect to be lost in the crowd in places like AskReddit but there's definitely niche spaces with few enough people for it to feel like the old days and actually make friends if that's what you're after.
