It seems like #leothreads did little to add to the numbers. After a short burst, it dropped off a great deal. Fairly typical on Leofinance. Most talk about how they want stuff and then when it arrives they dont use it.
At least they are busy on Twitter and Discord.

Bummer
I'm trying to increase my activity on #threads. Today I used my breaks from work to put up a #thread or two

Don't get disenchanted mate, creating all of this content is a good thing!
Even if it's not ranking now, you can edit and repurpose it.
Nothing is wasted :)
Now that you have a huge base of content. written, my advice would be to start considering general SEO best-practises.
Things like having 500+ words, more Google friendly H1s, as well as H2 and H3 subheadings that feature the target keyword.
I know you're trying to keep it clean and short, but you've still gotta consider what Google wants in content.
Have a play with the format, but I'd say at the very least, always put a H2 at the very top featuring the keyword.
Also finally, just remember that evergreen SEO like this is an extremely slow burn that doesn't show real results until much further into the future.
Don't give up :)

If I'm readin the latest SEO update correctly the format task is using will be a more desirable one in the near future.
Key points from the update:
It seems that search engines will prefer short but on-point content in the future with no filler text and keyword length preference.
Dunno how they plan to enforce all that was stated there but the update is kinda huge if they can roll it out correctly.

Lol at how vague their SEO advice is.
Remember that for Google's business, the most important thing is that they get you to pay for ads.
SEO is just an annoying extra for them ;)

I completely agree but this does seem like a radical change or the beginning of one. Gonna give them the benefit of the doubt on this one.
It is part of the process. There are some topics where 500 words can be achieved. However, a lot of it is short blurts since the definitions are rather straight forward.
You are right, a lot of information packing being done.
My frustration isnt so much with Leoglossary. I know people using something like that isnt going to happen for the most people. The majority do not write 500 word posts, let alone taking the time to link words.
It is with Threads. There are so many "lions" who probably havent posted a single thread.

Whoops, I totally read your first comment as 'leoglossary'!! 🙈

Waning enthusiasm after novelty wears off is to be expected. I wouldn't worry too much. Like with everything else, success comes after a long grind.

Also, I see that Google is often indexing the PeakD or Hive Blog versions of your leoglossary posts.
Even though you're using leofinance.io to post and therefore telling Google via the canonical that it is the original that you want ranked, the algo still reserves the right to go rogue and index another version if it sees it as being of higher value.
And remember, our domain sucks haha... So pretty much everything else is of higher value.
I've found one of the best ways to make the Google algo index our version is to use the otther community tags and therefore automatically create more versions of the post with the canonical set to leofinance.io.
I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but it works because it's giving more opportunity for the Google crawler to read the canonical links and go 'okay, everyone is saying to index the leo version so that's the one I've gotta index."
I'll let you figure out the politics of pissing off other communities by using their tag haha...

Yeah Leofinance's ranking does suck. It does trail hive.blog and peakd. So there is nothing to do but to get more content on there and try to get Khal to do some basics to the site.
One I am focusing upon is getting a flow of information. By using some basic menu mapping, I an trying to bring it all together in a nice package for Google. Of course, it is just a small part of the overall pages on the site but it is all I can do.
I told khal a link to the main menu for LeoGlossary needs to go on Leofinance.io.

Pitch it to him as the pretty much defunct LeoPedia, but on the main domain.
Tell him you will edit the posts so he can format the content however he wants.

I thought it was a glitch not seeing more #threads. It seems the excitement of some waned and prefer Discord and Twitter.

It could be that those apps bring them more value than Threads. Imo it's a natural process. It takes time to make a mental shift but it also takes time for a project like Threads to start providing value consistently.
For me personally, the issue is that I can see everyone's thoughts on my feed. I'm used to filtering feeds and going through Threads can sometimes feel like work.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Haha this.
In all honesty, it's a massive slog 😂.
Definitely need to get feeds and filters into an update.
