Project Overview

The Problem

  • First-time posters often receive little to no interaction due to limited reach and audience.

  • Lack of early feedback reduces motivation, preventing habit formation in the critical first week.

  • Reduced engagement lowers content creation, weakening the platform’s core organic growth engine.

Core Challenge

• Ensure new users receive meaningful interactions soon after posting.
• Help users experience value quickly so they continue contributing content.
• Improve activation without compromising content quality or feed relevance.

Impact at Stake

  • Low early engagement increases first-week drop-offs, reducing long-term active users.

  • Fewer active contributors lead to slower content generation and weaker network effects.

  • A broken viral loop limits discovery, reducing new user acquisition driven by engagement.
