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!

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 !fedigrow@lemm.ee.

I don’t get having a community if one is not into it. Like the owl community was mostly the guy posting owls initially and maybe even now but hey folks like the posts. Its like the pathfinder one could at least repost news from paizo’s site but it just sites fallow because I guess the expectation is other folks will do that. Its like deciding to run a club by finding a space and giving it a name and then wonder why the only ones who come around are folks that poke their head in and see the empty room and go on their way.
