How do you deal with being the only one posting in a community (aka "shouting into the void")? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I'm not gonna lie, sometimes it feels a bit lonely. I try to post on a few generic communities

Sometimes I can be the only poster for a few weeks. Makes me requestion the relevance of posting at all. I started posting to [email protected] recently just because at least my posts are widely seen, and other people post there as well.

I shout into it more and hope that one day the void will answer back. It works occasionally. For example, I moderate a T-Mobile US community and started it off at zero and it's got over 200 subscribers now. Most posts still don't get comments, but there are some that do, and sometimes conversation even occurs or is beginning to anyway.
