Post an anime screencap and no text.

Things that are interesting to discuss.

If you can't think of those, then there's no need for you to create a thread.

The only threads that get many replies on /jp/ are troll and retard threads, unfortunately.

There is only so much you can talk about with visual novels and Touhou.

>>7505512
What if I didn't watch anime since few years and I didn't visit /a/ since long time? I even don't know what kind of anime is popular now...

>>7505520

But you can quite easily talk about the same things over and over with a slight twist each time.

Such is the tragic but enjoyable life of an autistic floorshitting faggot.

Then post the 3D shit you watch and write >/jp/ next to it.

If you ask me, it's about making threads that are both interesting enough with topics that are broad enough; and not make things too limited or complicated.

Sometimes, making a few easy-to-understand statements or posting an interesting board-related image might be good enough. But in the end, I honestly can't see that many patterns in what makes a thread popular. It seems that the posters in the thread are just as important as the OP, and posters and their interests vary from day to day.

However, please try to not limit yourself or have too narrow expectations of what kind of threads /jp/ users might enjoy. The only thread I've ever made that got more than a hundred replies was the thread I was the least certain /jp/ users would enjoy. Don't give up, and good luck!

The best thing is to not post any text. Just post a picture of a Touhou, a VN, an anime or anything /jp/ related and watch as the discussions just start.

It seems it can't just be any image though. There needs to be something with it that catches people's attention.

One example is the Myourenji bath-time thread from yesterday that got a decent amount of replies, but another example is the anon posting the SSiB ballroom scene many months back. I really enjoyed that thread for some reason, just a lot of good, laid-back Touhou-related discussion. But like mentioned before, it takes a good day on /jp/ for those threads to take of.

>The only thread I've ever made that got more than a hundred replies

Multiple 100+ thread master race here

I dunno how I do it though, it's a gift maybe

Cute Byakuren, by the way.

OP, this is /jp/. Just post something Touhou or VN related, and don't say anything that would make anyone consider you a "normal". The stupider you make it, the more replies you'll get.

It also helps if you make really obscure references to something within said VN or touhou. This makes other /jp/ers you're one of them.

I can't believe there are people on /jp/ who actually keep track of how many 100+ reply threads they've made. I thought we were all masters of this shit.

I don't know. I rarely make threads. Don't worry about making threads with tons of replies though.

>>7505572

y'know, on second thought, if you seem like a "normal", /jp/ will definitely tell you so, which means that you'll be getting replies. And then someone else will come along and mention something else. Which in turn will lead to more replies. Huh. I guess it really doesn't matter what you post. I don't even know anymore.

>>7505574
I've only ever made one, and I've made like 5 threads in my whole time on /jp/. It's not very hard to keep track of.

>>7505585
It could be anything, related or not, deep or shallow. Even a troll thread can evolve into something interesting. That's why idiots who bash and shit over everything that doesn't fit into their аutistiс standards are the worst.

I rarely make threads and they never get far. I usually make them about something that's been fascinating me recently and don't expect many people to care.

>>7505507
How about just make 100 threads with no replies?
If you think about it, one thread must be worth more points that a single reply post (even less if saged!).
As for a subject, I guess some random mmorpgs or memes now popular in newspapers will do.

don't make threads like this one. reported.

Post a random picture with the text >/jp/ meetup

>>7505622
Am I a bad person if I seriously enjoy threads like this? Some of them are pretty inventive.

>>7505631

yes.

>>7505631
As a pervert lolicon I like the ones on that theme. They die out quick so it's just a little posting interlude.

>>7505631
They can be funny and inventive, but most of the time it's pretty bland. I read them if the OP pic is interesting enough.

>>7505631
It's okay man, I love metathreads on /jp/ too. Despite the fact that half of my posts get reported, I've learned how to carefully tiptoe along the border of shitposting in order to avoid pissing off the janitors/mods (>implying /jp/ has mods) enough to get a range ban on my dynamic IP. God damn I miss /ghost/.

The other half of my posts seem to be held in high regard by the /jp/ community, so go figure. Got thing I don't use a trip.

>>7505631

You're not alone, Anon. I kind of like >/jp/ threads too

>>7505649
It takes a good image indeed, but the really ridiculous >me in the /insert location posts always make me smile. Maybe I just have a really stupid sense of humor.

>>7505662
I don't really think if >/jp/ meetup threads as meta threads. Unless it's one of those actual Comiket or Reitaisai threads we get maybe once a year.
