I think one of the biggest problems is that there's some things people on Snapzu aren't interested in. And it's just the sad reality of it.
With /t/writingprompts I can imagine the biggest issue is that the members are readers, not writers. They joined to see people post interesting stuff, but can't make it themselves.
But as for /t/Pokemon, my tribe, I have no freakin' idea why I can't make it work. I have 45 members and there's almost no activity. The highest upvoted post is only upvoted because it was submitted to art tribes and the OP probably doesn't even like Pokemon. I just have no idea what to do. I'm currently taking a break from posting news and stuff just because it seems like it doesn't matter to anyone.
During all that Reddit confusion, I noticed that most gaming subreddits were almost unaffected by it. Since they remain intact, if people want to talk about games they will rather go somewhere else rather than here. I remember that one Snapzu user commented that despite having Snapzu as his/her main site, she/he would still go to Reddit to read and talk in the Bernie Sanders subreddit.
I understand the idea that the members are readers and not writers, but wouldn't they then be the ones posting the prompts with hopes to see what the writers would create? My point was that surely when joining such a tribe you expect to either be a prompter or be a writer or both. On a site as small as Snapzu, being a lurker makes no sense. What I found kind of amusing, was that I posted a promise saying that I would respond to at least 1 or 2 prompts per weekend in /t/writingprompts. This resulted in my post being liked...but no prompts to respond to when this weekend rolled by hahaha
It seems though that the consensus here seems to be that Snapzu may not be ready for tribes like the ones I have mentioned. It's sad but maybe that is just the truth of it. However I don't plan on giving up just yet as I would rather like certain tribes to take haha.
