Breaking Down the Great Wall of Equestria


CHAOS_FANTAZY

564 views

So I've been here for, what, a week now? And I notice I'm having a hard time drawing attention to myself. I mean, sure, I've gotten a brohoof here and there, a couple friends following me 'cause they liked one thing I said, but no one's really talking to me. The threads I've posted have 0 replies thus far; the people here mostly ignoring me.

 

Thus, I am encountering something I expected to encounter here. There are many fish in this sea. Getting noticed here is hard; getting a good friend here is even harder. People have their friends, their circles; they make their rounds, and the new guy is left to fend for himself.

 

I'm sure I'm not the only person who's encountered this "wall" in this community. I'm sure there are people who have broken through it.

So, to those people: how do you do it, exactly?

Be bubbly- pun intended.

 

Just go out and post and add people. That's what i did. You slowly whittle those fish to the good and nice ones who hold conversations with you.

Look at me.

 

I've hung around less than 3 months now, and I've got 16,000 profile views and 1613 brohoofs, even after losing 180 because of site maintenance. (Yeahh, if I hadn't lost any, I'd have 1793  >_>)

I've been around since October 24th, 2013.

By the time I hit 100 posts, I had less than 20 brohoofs and less than 600 profile views.

None of my posts were ever acknowledged, my statuses got no replies, but dammit, I didn't let that get me down. I still went out there and tried making new friends, no matter if they were Sir.Flutter hooves or a Blank Flank that hung around for a couple of hours and never came back. I still have that philosophy, actually.

I didn't give up, I stuck around and made new friends, and you can too, very easily. Just don't be afraid to throw yourself out into the community, and you'll make friends in no time.

Stay gold, ponyboy ;)
