Same with competitive sports. As a tennis player, if I lose a match I’m usually doubly motivated to get back out there for another one.

But then you have to change accounts, which I understand isn’t difficult, though it’s still something that needs to be done proactively by the user. Would be nice to just have a better content ranking algorithm that gives smaller communities a chance.

btw the spaces in the links provided by OP effectively break the links if you’re not based on the community’s home server. Would be really great to get this updated.
