MODERATORS
The problem typically isn't that the community doesn't exist -- the problem is that it does exist but is empty or mostly empty.
Be the change you want to see. I noticed that every time I post even a small thing on those empty communities, people come and contribute.
It's mostly an empty dancefloor issue, nobody wants to be the first
While that is true, it also is true that the community often is just not there, and it’s unclear if it will ever come.
