Last week I asked:
" @sndbox At what point do you think you guys will reach "critical mass?" I love the idea of what you're doing, and like @minnowsupport, it will be great for the community, but with such a limited scope of creators, it will be a while until you have a diverse offering.
For example, as someone that posts strictly about video games, me commenting on a Sndbox member's post about the current state of the blockchain might be a bit of stretch. I'd be posting simply to get their attention - not out of sincere interest.
Are you guys making any outward efforts to integrate members that offer a wide variety of topics, or are you just hoping for that diversity to occur organically?"
Hi @gamingcrisis, that's a good question regarding cultivating diversity.
We are making outward efforts to onboard a broad range of content creators. Part of this effort comes through "Sndbox Stewards" and "Sndcastles" which we will elaborate more on in tomorrow's posts. Essentially, Stewards come from a wide range of backgrounds (art, writing, music, curation, community-building) and aid the growth of Sndbox by providing nominations.
For the near and long-term, our incubator does want to focus more support towards physical projects that utilize STEEM. (Much like our pilot project "STEEM Park") Here's an interesting example from a member of ours who is a musician -

We should add - critical mass is a good point. We're working to come up with ways of scaling and supporting Sndbox for the long-run. The delegation we received very recently has been a huge resource for us and insures our ability to grow / support the growth of other Steemians.

That's something I have to learn more about. Being able to split your rewards to certain people, I still have a very shallow understanding of how delegation works.
Do you guys have a Discord? Or a place interested people can reach out to you, to see how they can better their content?

We maintain a Slack channel for our members but for content quality and structure, we post everything very openly on our account and you can see the style we try to maintain on our members' accounts =)

Thanks for getting back to me; I almost forgot I was up so late last night on your site :)
I'll keep my eyes open and absorb as much as I can from your sndbox members!

I really appreciate you getting back to me, it was the only concern I had when coming across your platform builder - I was afraid the vetting system might lead to a hive of like-minded individuals with no content variety.
As long as you guys have considered this and are taking steps to avoid the possibility, I'm confident that what you guys are building will be a success.
I look forward to joining your ranks one day ;)
