How long Meme can survive mainly depends on how long the community can keep playing. One-time bursts of excitement are not enough; otherwise, the community will disperse quickly, and everyone will lose the shared rhythm. What truly retains people is a platform that makes participation easy and feedback fast—only then will the community continuously generate secondary creations and interactions, turning the heat from a peak into a sustained flywheel.
Speaking of this, the approach of certain mainstream Meme platforms exemplifies this point. They design the entire process to be smoother: from discovering a project to actually entering, the path is more direct; from entry to project dissemination, the process is more natural. The result is that the hype doesn't just flash on the chain and then disappear, but can truly transform into ongoing activity.
For participants, this means lower action costs—no need to jump through multiple pages, no need to understand complex procedures. For the entire community, it means the rhythm is less likely to break, and everyone can keep playing continuously. This design philosophy is actually the key to turning Meme from a "flash in the pan" into a "real business."

That's right, low barriers are the key to retaining users; otherwise, people will just leave after a wave.
---
Operational smoothness directly determines life or death; some projects fail right here.
---
The flywheel effect sounds good in theory, but the key is having continuous participation; otherwise, it's just empty talk.
---
User-generated content and interaction are the soul; a project without these is doomed.
---
Platform design is obvious at a glance; complicated processes can really scare off a large number of people.
---
Sustained activity is much more valuable than short-term rapid growth; many projects haven't figured this out yet.
---
Once the community rhythm is broken, it's hard to get back on track, so feedback speed is indeed very important.

Basically, retention rate is the key. Too many projects are just fleeting moments.

Honestly, it's not just about the platform being well-designed; the key is that the community genuinely wants to keep playing.
Old projects die out and fade away, new projects come and go like a passing breeze. Everyone is tired of this cycle.

That's right, community engagement is the key, otherwise it's just a quick pump and dump.

That's the key point—low barriers are necessary to retain people, otherwise it's just another game where the chives are harvested and then everyone leaves.

In simple terms, the key to retaining people lies in the atmosphere, not just the popularity.

That's right, but most platforms are still relying on their old gains; few truly achieve low friction.
---
The metaphor of the flywheel is brilliant; it all depends on who can turn the first circle well.
---
The core still depends on a continuous stream of content creators; otherwise, all platforms are pointless.
---
The difference in whether the path is smooth or not is significant; users will really leave just because of a few extra steps.
---
The problem is that many projects haven't thought about how to maintain popularity; they just want to cut quickly.
---
This set of theories sounds great, but there are many hurdles in actual operation.
---
The emergence of secondary creation is indeed a good indicator of community vitality; that’s true stickiness.
