Reply to comment by happydazenews in I made a website which features positive/inspiring news stories with no ads! by happydazenews

Great stuff - thanks for helping the internet to be a better place.

I couldn't immediately tell, but do you allow people to submit their own links/articles? The thing I've found with positive news sites is that they don't have the same breadth of articles as say r/worldnews. Most people have ADD when it comes to this sort of stuff so it would be nice to have a very diverse set of constantly added news, otherwise people will not regularly return and eventually forget about your site. The only way I know to counter this would be to have many contributors. Maybe you could make it work in parallel with a same named subreddit and cross-post articles bi-directionally from your website to the subreddit? Then, your other social media outlets like TikTok can help promote it further. Your website would be the central "repository".

My 2c ;)

Great tip! You are totally right I am trying to diversify my articles to include a variety of different types of good news and cool stories. I will def make it more clear for people to send me ideas and news related stuff so I can make better content. For now if anyone is interested you can send me an email at happydazecontact@gmail.com

If you wanted, you could make a subreddit that does the filtering by upvotes and grab the good news from there? Hope this catches on 🙌

There is already a subreddit called r/upliftingnews. Why not just use that.

Because half of the posts on there are just r/orphancrushingmachine posts in disguise.

Just need to be careful with something like that, as depending on how the moderation works, it's easy for articles which are actually horrifying if you think about them for more than 5 seconds to sneak in, and next thing you know it's /r/UpliftingNews in website form
