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.
Then post something!!!
Check my profile.
if you're community is over an hour old and has nothing on it
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.
being some sort of ambassador if your want content.
With 1.23K Posts, OP kind of is
Yea, holy shit. That’s about 4 posts a day for a straight year.
More like 45,000 according to the monthly active users metric on FediDB. Though your point still stands. It's still quite niche.
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.
Do you know how much more annoying it is when you're the only one who actually posts ?
Actually, I do. That's how all three of the communities I mod for, started out. One is doing well now, getting new content a few times a week, another only gets new content pretty much when I post and the last one is pretty dead.
What about broadcasting lemmy communities ? A community to broadcast them so people can get reminded I guess ?
I'm going to start a weekly thread on !fediverse@lemmy.world to promote some communities
Posted on it ty !
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.
