First vanity metric milestone 😃
Yesterday, our small (for now) community reached 50 users. It took 80 days to reach that milestone. The first month there were crickets only, as I've been very passive about growing this community.
About a month ago I started tracking keywords across the web, responding with my community seconds after I see it. I started reaching out to different communities, subreddits and influencers.
I mostly hear rejections, but it is fine in the beginning of the journey. The important thing is that users are coming, they are finding other people to play with and that's what matters. I hope this trend will continue improving.
