In my experience, a lot of these subs aren't abandoned and have plenty of subscribers, so if you post, people will jump on it.

Can confirm I'm sitting in many communities waiting for content, and always delighted to see it.

If I was interesting, maybe I'd make some of my own.

Agreed! I'm a boring person (that's why I'm on social media)

Being boring is a thing people do.

I just uploaded a pic of my portable CD player from 1990 to a community for CD collectors. Nobody had uploaded in a couple months and the only person who had ever uploaded was the creator.

It proceeded to get quadruple the upvotes of the last post. People are there. You just have to share what you've got.

Now this is the inspirational content I want to see out of The_Picard_Maneuver

Or if an otherwise popular community seems dead- maybe your instance just isn't federating them right, or was never federated before you browsed to it.

Thanks, deleted the other.

My app (or instance?) has been acting a little buggy today.
