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

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.

Sometimes I question the fact that some communities might be too niche, but even on something as generic as !movies@lemm.ee there aren't that many people wanting to talk about movies

I think part of the issue is there's multiple communities on different instances for the same topic. I'm subscribed to like 4 different movie communities. If we all just stuck to one, maybe there would be better engagement?
