@asklemmy What is up with people creating Communities and then not even posting a single post in them?

Like wouldn't you want to be able to grow a community by doing a post here and there, even just a welcome post to say why you created the community would make sense wouldn't it?

On the other end you have communities where only the owner posts. Speaking from experience...

Sometimes you have to start building before people will come

I've been building for years, first on reddit now on lemmy. But I still find it interesting enough to keep posting

And i respect those mods. They are at least trying to build a community rather than hope one pops up under them.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

Yeah I guess that could feel strange but wouldn't that be better than 0 posts at all? Like hey least they are trying to grow the community and making some sort of effort.
