i recognize that community issue , people think you need to post there were the votes are but , if all post with the same intrests are made in one place , it will atrack more people with the same intrest . At least that is what happend to my macro photography community and also my photo essay , and once curators find out that the community is maintained as it should the votes follow .

i had just to manny IRL issues the past years to keep the community at top level , it is time consuming.
