I m Mahi, one of the makers of OpenBoxComm. We run focused Discord servers for developers, gamers and students, and I keep wondering why some communities stay active while most go quiet after a month.

For you, what made a community stick? Was it the people, the moderation, the topic, the events? And what made you leave one?

I m curious about experiences from any community, not just ours. I ll reply to everyone.
