We’re excited to relaunch an initiative that increases community spirit and engagement by welcoming new deviants to the site! A few years back, we piloted a program identifying deviants who excelled at reaching out to others and matched them with new deviants who’d benefit from a warm welcome. We all know how intimidating it can be to join a new community, which is why it was important for us to reimplement this project to ensure deviants feel supported as soon as they sign up! The stats from the initial launch of this program were astounding. Here's a glimpse of how much of a difference you made: New deviants were five times more likely to receive a Profile comment New deviants were twice as likely to make a comment New deviants were twice as likely to receive a llama New deviants were about 80% more likely to receive a deviation comment New deviants were about 75% more likely to receive a favourite New deviants were about 50% more likely to get watched New deviants were about 15%
