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.

Well, that's ridiculous! I imagine there are similar stories for other communities as well which ends up with a bunch of fragmentation.

I agree with you.

I even escalated the "power tripping" of the mod of !moviesandtv@lemm.ee at the time to the admin instance, but their stance was that they didn't want to interfere with the moderation of communities, as that would be themselves powertripping.

I'm going to post to the LW community to advertise !movies@lemm.ee at least

We narrowly avoided fragmentation with !lemmyapps@lemmy.world and !lemmyapps@sh.itjust.works. Some amount of consolidation is definitely a good thing especially since Lemmy's userbase is still small.

That was another shitshow, probably the worst I've ever seen on Lemmy
