I'll agree with @Max Taxable. And not only content but if possible unique content. The question is where to find that magic unique content as there are 100's of similar topic forums.

Another problem is not the Facebook itself but the way that Facebook "teached" the users to work. Somehow it made users actind like robots. Just clicking likes. And this is the reality. I've some friends who really wanted to help me adding content in one of my forums. What happen? They were unable even to understand how to make a post, much more how to quote a post etc etc.

So you need to "fight" with 2 things:

1. Finding unique content
2. Finding users willing to spend sometime to learn how forums are different that Facebook
