I think you will appreciate this (not spamming you). It is a point missed on most in Web 3, including the Leo team from what it seems.

So the platform business model is basically a framework where the success of a digital platform is determined by its ability to facilitate and enhance interactions among users (for instance with new features), thereby increasing both the quality and quantity of interactions to drive user engagement and platform growth (This is my key takeaway from my discussion with AI about this article).
InLeo has definitely done more than other front-ends in this regard, but the user experience issues of the past several months sure has put some hard breaks on the adoption, growth and general enthusiasm. Is the latter a part of what you're referring to here?
That is part of it. The other is how, with Web 3.0, we all have to make sure we are building the ability to increase interaction. This is not only left to the platform developers, although rolling out new features (or making older ones work) is imperative.
The tools that are offered have to be applied by those on here to start the process of increasing interactions by those who are here. Then we can layer more on top.
Layering cannot be understated.
I see what you mean. Well I think we've already got a lot of really good initiatives, and concepts going on, but many get turned off by the usability issues. Even I can't stand scrolling through threadcasts these days (or even my own playlists) because of the choppiness.
Hopefully we'll be back to a smooth user experience soon though. At that point it should also be easier to show and inspire people what they actually can participate in building. Sticky polls was a huge engagement generator for instance, and we've just scratched the surface of what we can do with it. Creativity and presence is required. 100% agree that it's first and foremost the users(owners) that needs to do this. We just need the basics to be in place.
We also need the mindset in place. Too many are accustomed to looking for others to do it for them. That is Web 2.0 since, there, we are just users.
Innovation is the key. The more that people build themselves, the greater the interactions that can take place. InLeo is simply the infrastructure which, as you pointed out, is buggy.
Not to mention the mindset, for sure.
We just have to keep putting it on the agenda, repeating it again and again and again, while at the same time showing concrete examples of how it can be done. People typically don't understand ideas, they understand finished products.
90% of people will not get it no matter how much we say and do I think, but the last 10%... I'm convinced there are plenty of capable people around here just waiting for that spark of an idea to find their angle/inspiration to finally get seriously involved. Like me with Music on Leo.
