You are going to have to repost this, I think. It's a bit late in the week. I don't think there is anything else I can say that I haven't already. On membership, Voat as a whole isn't really growing and I don't think we are an exception. The nature of the site rejects a lot of normies and only the really good users stay. That's not to discourage you from trying to increase the numbers, but don't feel bad if it's ineffective. We get our biggest boosts as Reddit refugees. The latest was Cringe Anarchy and I imagine they will ban places like I'mGoingToHellForThis soon and they should give us a few more.
