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.

My biggest issue here as well. Can't find new communities and then when I do join I never see them in my algo.

I never see them in my algo

That's odd. Even when browsing by subscribed and sorting by new or scaled?

Scaled subscribed feed works for me to show most of the niche communities I sub to

I'm probably sorted wrong. I either do top 6 hours or hot.

Top 6 should show them. Are you sure the communities federate correctly with your instance? Have a look at them on their home instance, then from your instance, and see if posts are missing.

If yes, copy the link of the missing post, and paste it into the search bar. It should then appear and "unblock" the federation
