    1. To be honest, I'm not sure, I thought it was an interesting idea so I joined to see what came of it. I'm actually not expecting to get much out of it really which is probably not the answer you were looking for. I have always thought the idea of a pen pal from across the world might be cool so maybe I can find tht here :)

    2. This seems to be a thing in a few of the newer tribes. I have noticed, either people joining but no activity at all, or people posting snaps but no comments being made, both of which tend to give the ghost town affect. I suspect it's the result of a lot of people who have migrated from reddit who were used to simply browsing for content without actively contributing because there usually a few likers within the group. How one converts lurkers and likers into posters I do not know. only to say that I went from a lurker.liker at reddit and immediately became a poster here on snapzu.

    3. Because it seemed like an interesting idea and wanted to see where it would go.

    I would have to go with a Lamoat, it is the result of breading a goat and a Lama

    I will also leave this here.

      Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate your honesty and you willingness to join the tribe on a whim lol. I agree, I've seen this a lot in newer tribes especially topic based ones where snaps are the superior format. People just find a tribe that falls into their snap's topic and include it and there's not much other discussion that goes on within the tribe. This tribe lends itself for a discussion-only format and I hope that at least lends itself to foster some sort of interactive community.

        Unfortunately I think it's just going to take time and being willing to continue to contribute to the tribe yourself. I'm currently hoping more people will start contributing in /t/writingprompts because I find it fun trying to tackle some of them. But it's just going to take more time as people other become more used to posting or as more people join.

        Showing passion for your tribeike you are doing and keeping the posts flowing I think also will help you. Remember the tribe you have here will probably draw a lot of shy people as well which means they will take time to feel comfortable responding even though it's anonymous.
