I’m new around here, but I found your topic and its concerns very interesting. In my view, I feel like there’s perhaps a… conflict?.. between contributions manifested on personal interest and those prompted by a type of duty/discipline. I see the former as more organic and the latter as more societal. Perhaps what might help is to establish a set of expectations… guidelines or principles if you will… that community members should strive to follow/model. Maybe create a type of rewards system (e.g. conditional badges) for adherence/dedication? I feel like management of your community would ideally benefit from creating an ecosystem that is self-managing/moderating as much as possible. I could be way off base here, but this is my two cents FWIW.
