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 !pics@lemmy.world recently just because at least my posts are widely seen, and other people post there as well.

I tend to agree. I think both of those communities are good for communities starting out or just opening up after adjusting some settings mishaps (e.g. whoops set to NSFW, mods only, or language settings), but they don't really fit for trying to get additional attention after that.

I made a small attempt over in General Discussion with this post encouraging people to share active communities, but nobody's added to it with their own lists of active communities or mentioning a single or couple communities they've been enjoying. 🤷‍♀️

Oh, that's a nice post (I missed it too) Would you like to crosspost to !casualconversation@lemm.ee ?

[–] ElectroVagrant@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I take it this is okay? 😅

Definitely, thanks!
