    It’s okay to start a community, even if it’s only a community of one right at the beginning. You never know who might be interested in it too. I started !uncle_bens@lemmy.ml and !toki_pona@lemmy.ml , and surprisingly there were a few more ppl besides me who are interested in those.

      Yeah, right before you posted this I decided to create Deciding to Be Better, Cats Are Liquid, and Forbidden Snacks ^^

          I created four more just now too. Final Fantasy XIV, Serious Pokémon Trades, Casual Pokémon Trades, Dirt-Cheap Recipes, and Autism Spectrum Experiences. I think that’s good enough for now, and I hope this will help Lemmy grow!

            Cool. Just be sure to do posts occasionally in them too, we have a lot of absent communities that we end up having to transfer to more active users. Also at some point we might do a cleanup.

              I think I’ll try to post every day. Is there a main page where “NEW” posts show up, to generate activity in my posts?

                The main page default sorts by activity for everyone, so they’ll see new posts that way. There’s also hot and new sorts too.
