thing is, i am not good at it.
I'm going to be honest, when I don't have any idea, I just look at /r/CasualConversation and see if there's any idea I can reuse here. Works most of the time.
I try to not see reddit stuff which i never did back then. I still regularly visit r/localllama, one piece spoilers and theories, and still search lots of stuff with "reddit" appended, but try not to go there (i just do not want to give them traffic).
Redlib works fine for me
If you have any other place where we can get ideas from, feel free to share, but at the moment it seems to easiest one to use
i know about redlib, and locally host it, but that just makes the reddit experience bearable, but reddit still gets traffic.
I am a bit of hypocrite, because i kinda do similar for one piece community. i frequeent to spoilers sub because they stay recent and relevent, so i steal some posts (where they essentially steal from the real forums)(as to why i do not directly steal from forums - well many of them are japanese, and some of them are based in twitter, which is much worse than reddit), but i do not steal regular posts because i do not feel right doing that. but since posting spoilers allows me to posts more than once a week, the activity for comm has increased. and i still try to do original summaries, or even translations when possible.
I am not saying you are doing anything wrong in using reddit, i just do not feel like it.
For me it's an acceptable compromise. Using Redlib drastically reduces the traffic Reddit gets, and on the other hand I get new ideas for this community and others.
The alternative is to run out of ideas, let the community become inactive, people unsubscribe like you did, and the whole platform just slowly dies
Do not speak of the bad place
