As a mod of 3 ignored communites that only get attention when I post start submitting. I really don’t get why Lemmy has such an issue with this. I’ve debated deleting mine at times because I thought no one cares and its prob why this owner has been inactive.
Lemmy is still growing and niche communities will take time to grow. I’ve also advocated for combining communities until a community grows to be too big and could use splitting into smaller, more dedicated communities.
Don’t remember which community we decided to lock and put a permanent stickied post pointing to another community for similar content until that community would become too big and we could reopen the closed community once there was a need for it.
But yeah its tough right now with smaller communities and trying to get the ball rolling. If you haven’t already, join us at [email protected].
I agree. If the mod is the only one posting it likely means there are a lot of lurkers and no one else is posting. It doesn’t mean that we should fragment the community more, it means you should jump in and start posting yourself!
