I'd look at various tech sub-reddits (like Rust) and ask why other communities can do it with more transparency and better volunteerism.

- dang 7y agoI'd be happy to learn from communities that get things better than we do, but one critical bit for such discussions is that size is always a dominant factor. At each order of magnitude, problems get qualitatively different. I'd guess that the Rust subreddit is much smaller than HN (though who knows? Rust is popular). If so, the lessons are not likely to translate automatically. Similarly, lessons from HN don't translate to much larger outfits than HN.
