How active are reddit users?

I created my first sub, and i just reached 100 members, from first 20 members i get 5-7 upvotes for each post, i have 3 posts in total.
and now i have 100 members and just 5-12 upvotes per post. it seems like the engangement dropped and evrything it's organic.

Congrats on reaching 100 members!
It’s normal for engagement to dip as the community grows. To boost activity, try posting at different times, asking questions, or running contests/polls. Keep engaging with members directly – it’ll help reignite the momentum

reddit user is good but growing on reddit is hard

Reddit has Very strict Rules , They without taking an instance can limit any of the user accounts and they wont even come to know that their accounts actually have been limited indeed which is scary thing for me

Sounds like classic early-stage engagement dynamics. In the beginning, your first few members were likely more invested, maybe even friends or people genuinely interested in your niche.

As your sub grows, a larger percentage of members might be passive lurkers rather than active participants.

they are preatty active but only for topics they don't agree, post something incorrect and you will se how many will write to tell you how wron you are

You're getting some bad info here. It's not "normal" for engagement to dip as your subreddit grows. What is true is that the Reddit algorithm changes regularly. Your engagement will dip if the algorithm prioritizes different content or different subreddits. For example, there was a short period where Reddit prioritized conversations... until they realized having 12,000 comments on a thread meant 11,995 of those comments weren't being read, so it doesn't move their top line.

What's also true is that your most engaged users will have an attention span that waxes and wanes. You might get a user that engages with your community constantly for weeks, only for them to wander off to different subreddits. This depends on the content; this depends on the algorithm; this depends on what the user is interested in or just going through in life at the moment. That doesn't mean they are gone, but it does mean they could circle back weeks later.

Also, where you're getting your members from is also important. If the audience growth is untargeted, it's natural for them to be less interested in the topic. A good example is that r/NBATalk should be farming members from the r/NBA audience, and not the r/NFL subreddit.

It seems part of your subreddit members is not relevant enough for this niche or you are not creating high quality content

Your Point is valid , the traffic on reddit is very specific always and if any content does not matches the users interests it drops in ranking very much fast actually indeed

how did you reach 100 members?

Might be time to start some strategic comment threads to boost interaction

Reddit has tons of active users, it's not a platform issue for sure...try to reach more people and attract more engaging members for your subreddit

Reddit is Only For People that can create content which is genuine , When the content is engaging it certainly gets a lots of views and likes in no time , You dont even have to boost it and vise versa is also possible as well

Congrats brother. To reaching 100 members!

I would say it really depends. There are interests that always have a lot of active users, but there are also interests that users only open when they're particularly looking for posts in those kinds of subs.
