Fellowship Writers Community Stats: Week 12
Another weekly report with tremendous results and statistics.
Each week as I go through the community’s stats, there is one metric I follow more closely than others. It is the average that correlates with member engagement, but more importantly — shows how hard our members are working to support each other by leaving a comment.
What is the metric in question? The average number of comments per story.
Last week, the average number of comments per featured story reached a high of 10.4 comments per story. This result is 25.3% higher than Week Eleven’s numbers.
With a high-water mark of 291 comments left for 28 stories, we are proving a cooperative community is possible on Medium.
But beyond the metrics, I am most proud of how positive our members are towards each other. Scrolling the comments, you see a level of friendliness that is practically non-existent on the internet. In fact, I have yet to witness a truly malicious remark on any story — to this date.
Knock on wood!
Moving forward, I hope we can remain encouraging towards one another, and I hope we can continue to compound the sense of friendship that has developed…
