These things take time. I’ve saved discords in the past by making interesting comments or posts that created conversations. Lemmy is growing, and quality content attracts quality content.

Lemmy is growing
I'm not so sure, https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats, there is a slow but constant loss of users
I wonder why that is? 🤔
op, from someone who browses /c/all, I frequently see your posts, so thanks, keep on keeping on
Thank you for your comment!
I feel having a balance between more popular and widely used communitys as well as smaller and nicher ones work pretty well for me, where I admin 3 rather popular and broad communitys and 3 small and very niche ones. That way it just feels like more is happening yknow?
I also can only recommend utilising a Post Schedueler and making 1-2 weeks worth of posts at a time! When you manually post daily, it does feel pretty lonely, but if you do all the work in a few hours for 2 weeks like I usually do, it really does feel less like shouting into a void since you aren't actively posting per say that way
Balance is an interesting approach, I kind of have it too without realizing it.
The post scheduler can help, but in my case I like to see how the post is received in real time ha ha
I mean, the posts are usually schedueled for the same time with 5 minutes apart. I always look forward to letting them all post and then looking over them all at once!
On Facebook, before I stopped, I tried writing well sourced political pieces and no amount of engagement was enough - when there was none it was... Annoying maybe, or disheartening. It made me think about why I was doing it.
I stopped posting on Facebook and I'm slowly moving to my own site and the fediverse.
So I'd say reflect on why you're doing it and hopefully align your actions or expectations with that introspection.
Curious, what is your site? Did you post it somewhere on the Fediverse? In which community?
