First off, I get it if it’s a fresh community and you don’t have anything yet. But if you’re community is over an hour old and has nothing on it… Why would I join it?

If you want your community to grow, post content as soon as possible, after it’s been created. Otherwise, you’re missing out on potential subscriptions and posters.

ALSO

If you find a community you like and subscribe to, post something! That’s the best way for it to grow and for you to see new content from it. Nobody wants to be the only poster in a community.

Hello,

Definitely a shared feeling. Feel free to join us on !fedigrow@lemm.ee to discuss how to grow communities.

Also, in the same vein, if you are a mod of 10+ communities but never post to them, why did you even create them in the first place?

Be the change you wanna see! But yes I feel you man. I created a small app to post content from reddit to a community (manually) to populate some of my community a bit while waiting for other users on Lemmy.

You can apply to take over ownership of dormant communities… You have to go ask, and I’ve seen it done… I’ve just forgotten where you ask.

lmao

Lemmy has like 1000 people on it, you need to either chill or work on being some sort of ambassador if your want content.

More like 45,000 according to the monthly active users metric on FediDB. Though your point still stands. It’s still quite niche.

RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The “good” part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don’t intend to make this a “safe space” where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That’s why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that’s fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
