A good amount of the content posted to reddit was a small number of power users, and the reason you see certain communities show up more than others on lemmy is because of those power users.
Don't be afraid to be that for your communities, even if you are the only one posting for awhile. The biggest discouragement to activity in a community is seeing the latest post is weeks to months old, and you wondering if there is anyone actually here.
The biggest problem for me is trying to make original content but I guess reddit also started with reposts from other social networks....
Seriously man. I'm trying to power user like 4 porn communities right now and recycling content is where to start. I just need someone to take up the banner for that non porn stuff like gaming and gaming circle jerk and it'll feel like home! You can even reuse memes about Todd Howard for those! I'll keep trying to keep people coming 😉 with the porn! You get em to stay in the refractory period!
