So yes.. maybe there are some sub-forums that get a little fewer attention... well.. if your interested.. interact!
You might not see it but most people do, and most of those people aren't seeing any jellyfin-centric conversations because they never leave reddit, which also means there are fewer potential contributors in the loop. Nothing wrong with having your own official forum, but nobody wants to be forced to come here. Plugin development feels completely dead, and go check out the android development forum sometime - completely empty after what, a year since being created? Nobody uses this place and the hyperfixation/hardheadedness/etc of whoever responsible is directly damaging the project. There's nothing "open source" about keeping a conversation space closed on purpose despite what most of the users might want.The saddest, most pathetic thing I've ever seen is posts asking for contributors and little update alerts being made on a locked subreddit, because they know that nobody would read them here.
Remember the 90-9-1 rule. 90% of users on Reddit will see a post, 9% will click the post, 1% will register or donate or whatever the post says. This forum is the 1% that happened to not only register but also stick around. I'm not even saying to shut down this forum by the way, I'm only saying that you should open up the subreddit (checking a single box) to encourage more engagement. Kodi has official forums and a subreddit, to give an example. The only reason things have been this way for so long is stubbornness and I don't see any value-added to keeping it this way.
