Should communities focus more on niche or general topics for growth? On one hand we have people who despise general / off topic topics on their niche forums. On the other hand, we have people who encourage it because it clearly generates engagement on their community and thus adding value to their community bonding.
So, what’s the right approach? Do niche communities risk stagnating if they don’t loosen up the conversation a little? Or does straying too far from the core topic dilute what makes a community valuable? And where do you stand - do you prefer to keep it focused, or are you all for mixing it up to boost engagement?
