Ask HN: Maintaining Quality in a Community
1. Readers can find quality posts user curated content from anywhere not just behind major search giants and major platforms.
2. Written content creators keep control of their stuff but still get exposure (it is hard not having a blog on Medium) thus keeping their code, design and monetisation methods.
I’ve received great initial traction with over 800+ users in 5 days of launching on PH.
There are some great content being shared and upvoted, however the problem is from the posts so far 30% are obvious Ads or guerilla marketers. What is the best way to build the correct community for the platform?
My current thoughts:
If I just keep it growing will it sort itself out as the front-page is user curated anyway? Should I setup a karma/money system for allowing users to post based on community engagement or would that stifle engagement? Should I review each post myself? Should I make it invite only?
