MODERATORS
It is a shame that the news communities have filled out better than the more hobby-level stuff. I think that will come with time and hopefully some more users
It’s just a lot easier to find and share that type of content than stuff around a niche hobby. That takes a full community which takes time to grow. I think we’ll get there eventually.
Yeah I comment a lot but I really should try to post more
I tried to make an effort to post more since I joined here. It's easier once you get the habit of it.
Habit is key.
OP if you have a relative interest in seeing a community function better do try to post more yourself.
Find some dnd sites, even if its the biggest most well known ones, and post things you find interesting from there. Use the 'Body' to add your own perspective.
Start small, maybe try to Post one article every Wednesday night, and one article every Sunday night. Once you start a habit you'll naturally begin exploring forr new and interetsting resources.
I dunno, good luck! :)
This is good advice, @NOT_RICK@lemmy.world
Replied to someone else with a similar comment a moment ago, but I'll reiterate here: if you want to post about your hobbies/hobby activities here either to gauge interest in making a community or until the existing communities get more traction, feel free to.
This is an in-between community as-is, so I think it's as good a place as any to find likeminded people to build and grow other, more focused communities.
News is general interest, so it's more likely to get engagement and grow. The more the news communities grow, the more engagement will happen with more niche communities. It's the same network effect that reddit and Facebook benefitted from.
