@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?

If there is one that doesn't have any content, you can reach out to the moderator or instance admins :) Often they'll be happy to pass it along to you, or start building it up with your help / feedback

Ultimately I agree, it's better to post something to the community instead of just leaving it empty

Sadly I don't use the instances these communities are apart of meaning I can't gain control / moderate them.

I might see about just posting in these smaller groups as I would love to see them grow.

That's good too :)

Out of curiosity, which communities are you looking into?

So there's certain games I've been playing but it seems like most are just not really active;
- Minecraft
- GTA Online
- Counter-Strike
- Satisfactory
- No Man's Sky
Are just a few of the games I play but obviously I want to find more things than just gaming communities.
